Whole Blood Task Force

The GCRAC Whole Blood Task Force is a consortium of multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional members. This program intends to extend damage control resuscitation capabilities to all levels of care within the GCRAC region while keeping costs down, establishing a robust blood donor pool, and keeping blood wastage rates due to expiration below the national average.
