Hispanics are the fastest growing part of the United States population, yet only a small percentage of Hispanics donate blood. Many Hispanics have type O blood, the blood type in highest demand, so it’s important to know that as a Hispanic blood donor, you make a powerful contribution to many patients in need.
Researchers have found that nearly 60 percent of the Hispanic population has Type O blood, which is most frequently requested by hospitals to treat a range of patients from trauma victims to premature babies.
Your blood may even carry a rare variant that can save the lives of others with that same variant. Many people don’t realize that patients are more likely to find a blood match among donors who share the same heritage. When you give blood, you are potentially saving the life of a friend, a relative or an acquaintance in the Hispanic community.
