At Hoxworth Blood Center, we know every blood donor plays a vital role in saving lives across the Greater Cincinnati area. When you donate, your generosity directly impacts patients in our local hospitals — our friends, family and neighbors. In the past, Hoxworth sent letters by mail to donors, letting them know where their blood was used. We’ve worked hard to bring back this thank you message, now delivered conveniently via email. Every time your donation reaches a local hospital, you’ll receive an update email, showing you exactly how your gift of life is making a difference. Hoxworth Blood Center is the sole blood provider for more than 30 regional hospitals in the Greater Cincinnati area. Often within days, you will be notified where your blood went to help local patients in our Tristate area.
