🇺🇸 United States of America

This page is for information related to the US specifically.

IMPORTANT CHANGES for our members in the US:
We just created a new SafeBlood website which is tailor made for the USA, with additional services we offer only in the US, and this is the link: safeblood.com.
During the next few weeks we will do a transition from safeblood.us to safeblood.com, which will then allow you to log in into every safeblood site world wide. However, the main site for the USA will be safeblood.com.
If you plan to become a member and live in the USA, please use from now on the safeblood.com.

The situation now:
Designated blood donations as well as donations of your own blood for yourself are possible throughout the US hospitals. However, they may not welcome you in every single one of them – this is what we will change.

What WE do:
Our acting plans:
We are in the process of setting up a team for the US and each state, which will establish the most feasible way to reach our goal, the free choice of blood (and blood donor). This will happen through finding medical partners (hospitals, laboratory chains, private practices etc.), and most importantly, by trying to reduce the need for transfusions in general with clear advises for medical staff in our members‘ living will.
We will write to all clinics in the US regarding their policies with unvaccinated patients, and will publish the results in our member area (under “Medical partner search“).
If we can not find enough suitable partners, we will have to set up our own chain of places to donate and store blood (blood bank).
We will translate the website to Spanish soon, in order to tear down the language barrier.
A telegram channel for easy information is complementing this page here. And of course you are welcome to follow us on Twitter.
You can search for a donor in the member area under “Search for blood donor“. Please don’t write me an email “is there a blood donor with AB+ in Washington?” – you find the answer yourself under the mentioned link.

What YOU can do:

If you want to join us and help within the team, please contact us.
Spread the word, and most importantly, become a member – because only together we are strong.

Please note that there are NO blood donation stations set up yet, nowhere in the US, as we need medical partners for this purpose first. This will take some time, but we are very close and being approached by private medical labs on a daily basis. Check back here frequently and subscribe to our newsletter (under “Contact”).

Phone: 1-800-925-6120 (not for emergency cases). If you need a blood donor, please register as a member on safeblood.com, go to “Need a blood donor?” and proceed accordingly.
Media inquiries (by e-mail only):

One question we often hear is “How much do you pay for my blood?”
We are an NGO and the reward for your blood donation is to know that you will also get uncontaminated blood once you will need it. So no, we don’t pay – we are “members taking care of members”, a community aware of a huge threat to our health – we are not “blood dealers”. We can and will never make a business with your blood. So the label “SafeBlood” will be a brand you can trust. Other private labs will buy your blood – and sell it to the cosmetic and rejuvenation industry. If you don’t mind, sell your blood there. If you want to save lives, stick to us.

Updates and NEWS:
Are posted here below by our team of authors – the most important news are updated here regularly.

Good news for Canadians, Europeans, Mexicans and citizens of all other countries coming to the U.S. for surgery: As of May 11, 2023, the Biden administration has lifted its Covid-19 vaccine mandate on all foreign air travelers entering the United States. This means everybody is welcome to have surgery in the US, where many hospitals allow free choice of blood donors. And since we have many members in the US, there are plenty of blood donors available to share with safeblood members from countries, where the free choice is not possible yet.

Last remark: You want to know whether we have a matching blood donor in your area? become a member and search for it here. As a member you are able to search by blood group AND location.
