⚠️ Blood type and initial health information do not by themselves determine whether someone can donate. OHSU conducts an independent medical evaluation, and donors can withdraw at any time before surgery.
💚 YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW HAILEY TO EXPLORE DONATION
A living donor does not have to be a family member. OHSU also offers paired-exchange options when a donor and recipient are not compatible.
