Anyone can be a potential organ and tissue donor, from newborns to senior citizens (roughly 80 years old). Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis at the time of death and may be affected by medical/social history, cause of death, etc.

You need to wait 56 days or 8 weeks between whole blood donations to allow your red blood cells to replenish. Plateletpheresis donors need to wait 14 days or 2 weeks between donations.

We cannot accept dreadlocks. Our manufacturer is not able to use them in our children’s hairpieces. We also cannot accept wigs, falls, hair extensions or synthetic hair.

Most patients do not require blood transfusions. Your doctor will have discussed or will discuss this with you.

Just click on "Donations" in the right side menu or click on the "Donation" button. On the donations page there will be instructions on how to donate to me and any of the charities that I have listed.

Almost everyone is a candidate regardless of age or current state of health. Age, disease, or state of health does not eliminate an individual from being a donor, but may affect what tissues can be used from the donated body. Medical research and education criteria for donation are less stringent than for transplant donation.

Anyone in good health, age 17 or older, may donate blood. Donors must weigh 110 ponds or more. There are some medical conditions that can temporarily or even permanently keep you from giving blood. People who have been exposed to hepatitis or the AIDS virus are not eligible to donate, nor are those with a history of cancer, or heart disease. Our donor guidelines are set to protect the donor's health and safety as well as the health of the recipient.
