Resource Sharing

The U.P. Regional Blood Center, like most blood centers, participates in a national resource sharing program.  Large metropolitan areas frequently use more blood than their local blood centers collect, and seasonal shortages occur across the nation when severe weather or disaster prevents blood centers from collecting enough blood to meet the need.  When this occurs, other blood centers help through a national resource sharing program.

Blood collected by the U.P. Regional Blood Center, in excess of the need by U.P. patients, is made available to blood centers and hospitals experiencing shortages in other areas of Michigan and the nation.

This is done only after our U.P. needs have been met.  The U.P. Regional Blood Center is reimbursed by these blood centers and hospitals for the products and transportation costs.
