At Inova, we treat transfusion as a precious resource. We approach blood transfusions like any medical procedure. If a patient doesn’t need it for their health and wellbeing, we don’t provide it. That means that blood donations at Inova are put to the best possible use – to save lives.
What is the current demand for blood in our area?
The current demand for blood and blood products is high. Our cardiac surgery program, which performs the most transfusions within the health system, continues to grow. In 2025, more than 2,000 cardiovascular operating room surgeries and procedures were performed at Inova.
