The Blood Conservation Center at Medical City

At Medical City, we are committed to meeting the specialized needs of our patients, including those who prefer or require options for bloodless therapy. Our commitment is to provide state-of-the-art equipment and highly skilled teams of surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists and technicians who fully understand and support bloodless medical and surgical services.

Medical City Extends Commitment to Community By Launching a Comprehensive Blood Conservation Center

The Blood Conservation Center at Medical City is a special service for patients who wish to avoid the use of donor blood during medical and surgical procedures. There are many reasons you may prefer a transfusion-free treatment method. You may hold a religious conviction that prevents you from receiving blood transfusions. Or you might feel more comfortable knowing that with bloodless techniques, you virtually eliminate the risk of bloodborne illnesses such as hepatitis or HIV.

At Medical City, our state-of-the-art technology combined with our highly skilled physicians, surgeons and entire patient care staff provide the highest quality medical care possible - without blood transfusions. We have made a special commitment to uphold the religious or personal wishes of those who desire bloodless medical treatment. All of the specialists participating in this program have a high level of expertise in “transfusion-free” or bloodless procedures and a personal desire to help individuals requesting non-blood medical management.

Thanks to advances in equipment and technology, physicians and surgeons can safely and successfully perform a multitude of procedures, ranging from routine appendectomies to complex orthopedic and open-heart surgeries, without using blood transfusions.

The Blood Conservation Center at Medical City offers the services of a coordinator 24 hours day. The coordinator is trained and experienced as a facilitator in all aspects of bloodless healthcare. The coordinator's goal is to ensure the highest quality medical care while respecting your individual choices regarding specific medical procedures. The coordinator will be directly involved with you to see that your needs are understood and accommodated by our staff.
