About The Blood and Tissue Center Of Central Texas
The Blood and Tissue Center today is the exclusive provider and guardian of the community blood supply for more than 37 medical facilities in a ten-county service area of Central Texas. In 2008, Central Texans used 58,211 whole blood donations. These donations are tested extensively to assure suitability for transfusion and processed into life saving components: red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, which go to help up to 165,000 patients. The Center works with the Marrow Donor Program of Central and South Texas to increase the number of Central Texans on the National Marrow Donor Registry.
The Tissue Services division was established in 1985 due to the increasing demand for allograft tissue. Today, The Tissue Center surgically recovers tissue from approximately 300 donors each year and assists with donor family services. The Tissue Center's main facility is located in Austin with a satellite office in Corpus Christi. Click to learn more about The Tissue Center.
