Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just published the latest results of the 2023 National Blood Collection and Utilization Survey (NBCUS) in which national trends in US blood availability are described (1). Findings include:? ? Responses from 96% of community-based blood centers and 85.7% of transfusing hospitals, the highest to date?? ? Stabilization in the blood supply with a return to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels? ? Shift from whole-blood derived platelets in favor of apheresis platelets, the former of which have been associated with a higher risk of viral transfusion transmission?due to multiple donor exposure? ? More than half of the nation’s supply of apheresis platelets are pathogen reduced?? ??

?? Patient Safety Awareness Week | March 9–15, 2025 ?? Patient safety is at the heart of everything we do. During Patient Safety Awareness Week, we recognize the progress made in healthcare safety, and all the dedicated individuals behind that progress, including @ptsafetyexpert. We also acknowledge the urgent need to do more to ‘move the needle’ -- preventable harm remains a global public health challenge, impacting millions of lives each year. At Cerus, we are committed to advancing the blood transfusion safety by reducing the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections. A safer blood supply requires innovation, collaboration, and continued investment in technologies like pathogen reduction.? We all have a role to play in making healthcare safer. Join us in recognizing this week and advocating for solutions that put patient safety first.?? #PSAW25 #PatientSafety #BloodSafety #PathogenReduction #PathogenInactivation ?

Reflecting on 5 Years Since the COVID-19 Pandemic Declaration ? Five years ago today, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This milestone marked the beginning of a profoundly challenging time that reshaped healthcare systems, economies, and our daily lives across the globe. As we reflect on the lessons learned and the resilience shown by communities everywhere, we also honor the healthcare workers, blood donors, researchers, and countless others who stepped up in extraordinary ways to protect lives and strengthen public health systems. The pandemic underscored the critical importance of safe and reliable blood supplies and highlighted the need for innovation in transfusion medicine. At Cerus, we remain committed to advancing technologies that support blood safety and pandemic preparedness.

March is American Red Cross Month ? This month, we honor the incredible volunteers and humanitarian work of the American Red Cross, who provide critical services across the globe—from disaster relief to emergency assistance, and so much more.

At Cerus, we deeply respect the mission of the Red Cross and are proud to support their efforts, especially in the areas of blood donation and emergency care. Volunteers are the backbone of their work, and this month, we celebrate all the individuals who give their time, energy, and compassion to help others in times of crisis. Let’s take a moment to acknowledge the selflessness of Red Cross volunteers and find ways we can all contribute to making the world a better place. ??

The Cerus story is a unique one, addressing the need for blood safety and availability over 30+ years. With this history comes the need to communicate our mission to many different audiences.
