helicopter PRE-HOSPITAL TRANSFUSION
ImpactLife works with emergency medical service providers on pre-hospital transfusion, providing EMS teams with the ability to carry blood components on board air and ground ambulances. Pre-hospital transfusion has been shown to improve patient outcomes when patients can receive a needed unit of blood on the scene of an accident or while en route to the hospital.

Learn more about pre-hospital transfusion here.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF SAVING LIVES
In 2024, we celebrate 50 Years of Saving Lives. Over the years, we've grown and merged across the Midwest from small, independent, community nonprofits to evolve into ImpactLife. We're still an independent, community nonprofit, only we're not so small. Today, our team is 800+ strong across four states.

Join us in celebrating this year!

Blood Types Needed

Many variables can impact our blood inventories such as weather, holidays or tragic events. Every day, patients who need blood are in crisis and you can help by volunteering to donate. Less than 10% of the population gives blood, so donors that give on a regular basis are important to meet these needs. Schedule an appointment today!

Give EarlyQ Review a Try!

EarlyQ Review is a great way to streamline our donor experience! It allows us to register, review donor questionnaire, obtain any necessary information and determine donor eligibility before traveling to the donation site! You will be prompted at the end of the questionnaire if you want to proceed with EarlyQ Review which will send your results to our staff to review and follow-up if needed!

Showing Our Pride

Moving to Individual Donor Assessment creates more equitable donor eligibility standards for prospective blood donors by using gender-inclusive, individual sexual behavior-based questions in pre-donation screening.
