Our Mission: Saving lives through research, innovation, education and excellence in blood, medical and laboratory services in partnership with our community.

70 Years and Counting Do you know where the blood came from when your favorite uncle from Greenlake had heart surgery seven years ago? Or who provided platelets for your neighbor in Burien, during her cancer treatment? Or what lab determined that a donated kidney was a match for your friend waiting for a transplant? At PSBC, we play a direct role in your healthcare. Not just for you, but for everyone you see around you. We’ve been doing it for 70 years. Founded in 1944 as one of America’s first nonprofit blood banks, today we are much more. We support 90 hospitals throughout the Pacific Northwest with blood components. When doctors need an expert in transfusion medicine, they call us. We collect cord blood from new moms, providing stem cells for cancer treatment. We register people for the National Marrow Donor Program, and collect the cells that make transplants possible. Our research sets us apart. We take our discoveries from “bench to bedside” to improve patient care. You’ll find our researchers in medical schools and scientific forums sharing the latest blood science with doctors from around the region — and around the world. One thing hasn’t changed in 70 years. Our power comes from you. And your support has been remarkable. Today our volunteer donors number 250,000 strong. Every day we welcome about 1,000 of them to our centers or mobile drives. Volunteers greet and register them, and offer cookies and juice afterwards. Others donate by making financial contributions that sustain our services and our groundbreaking research. This “extended PSBC family” will always be the cornerstone for our success. We’re deeply grateful for your help and steadfast support. We need you now more than ever. Please read the stories in this report. They offer a firsthand look at the impact of your gifts on patients, families, neighbors, and communities. After all, you make it possible.

A Legacy of Discovery: Saving Lives Through Blood Research With over 70 years of research and discoveries, Puget Sound Blood Center physicians and scientists have transformed medical science with breakthroughs in transfusion medicine, blood biology, blood storage, cancer therapies, organ transplantation, and treatment of clotting disorders.

Much remains to be learned about the therapeutic properties of blood, and it is expected that valuable research in that field will be conducted by the King County Central Blood Bank.

PSBC has supported an active research program since it began in 1944. Our physicians and scientists continue to learn more about blood biology that saves lives and changes lives by helping people regain good health.

J. Richard Czajkowski, MD Founding Director 1944-1967

One major advance in medical science that happened in Seattle was the advent of bone marrow transplantation. Bone marrow transplants were in the forefront of research in this community. The role PSBC played in supplying the red cells and platelets to patients undergoing a bone marrow transplant made this groundbreaking procedure possible. Sherrill J. Slichter, MD Director, Platelet Transfusion Research Puget Sound Blood Center

Twenty years ago we did not know about the involvement of platelets in inflammatory diseases like pneumonia, arthritis, strokes, and many others. That’s why it’s important for PSBC—where we see and treat patients—to be involved in research. We can collect samples, analyze and study them and apply our findings to the treatment of those patients. José A. López, MD Chief Scientific Officer Puget Sound Blood Center

PSBC was among the first blood centers in the world to undertake ongoing blood research instrumental in saving lives. Research in our labs doubled the storage life of platelets—the key factor enabling Dr. E. Donnall Thomas to successfully perform the world’s first bone marrow transplant that earned him a Nobel Prize in Medicine. Today, patients around the world have benefited from the discoveries we pioneered, and new medical knowledge we created.

Our Research Institute in South Lake Union, in the hub of Seattle’s biomedical research community, enhances opportunities for collaboration with universities, cancer treatment centers and other research institutions— accelerating our process of discovery. PSBC scientists are in a constant search for new understanding, new knowledge, new technologies, new therapies, and new cures for conditions and diseases that cause premature death around the world every day. Our blood research saves lives. Perhaps one day, even yours.

Ellen Browning Scripps Foundation Invests in PSBC Research

Ellen Browning Scripps 1836 - 1932

PSBC’s Research Institute has been honored to partner with the Ellen Browning Scripps Foundation for the past several years. A pioneer in American journalism, Ellen Browning Scripps approached philanthropy as an investment to help nonprofits more effectively deliver their programs and services to people in need. In Scripps’ words: “The most important gift one human being can give to another is, in some way, to make life a little better to live.” Since its founding in 1940, the Ellen Browning Scripps Foundation has been dedicated to continuing “Miss

Ellen’s” philanthropic legacy and intentions. The Foundation’s grant-funding has accelerated PSBC’s research investigations, enabling researchers to both publish their work and obtain additional funding. The Foundation’s most recent grant is helping PSBC purchase new technology for research that will improve transfusion safety. Thank you to the Ellen Browning Scripps Foundation for these precious gifts that will propel blood research and new discoveries for years to come.

Puget Sound Blood Center

70 Years of Continuous Growth Puget Sound Blood Center began with a single donor center and the goal of creating a local blood bank for patients in need. About 25 donations a day were collected. Today, our lifesaving mission has expanded, and the demand for blood components has grown dramatically. We welcome nearly 1,000 donors a day at 12 donor centers and in 19 mobile collection units conducting blood drives across the Pacific Northwest.

Community Support Makes New Bellingham Donor Center a Success In January 2014 we opened our new and larger Bellingham center in Bakerview Square. It delivers a state-of-the-art donor experience. In addition to whole blood, donors can now give much-needed platelets through apheresis collection. Platelets are the component of blood that helps prevent and stop bleeding—used during surgeries, organ transplants, and cancer treatment. Since opening, we’ve had three times as many platelet donors as projected! This community support is amazing and benefits Bellingham-area patients who need about 1,700 units of platelets a year. It also helped dedicated platelet donors like Bob Hungerschafer, who had been driving 120 miles roundtrip to Everett, to donate platelets every two weeks. Now this 733-time donor (and community members like him) have the convenience of donating platelets much closer to home. We’re Oregon’s Newest Partners in Healthcare Over the past year our Oregon & Southwest Washington Blood Program (OSWBP) began new partnerships with Legacy Health and Providence Health Services as their sole supplier of blood. Our shared goal: provide local patients with the best care possible. This year for the first time we’ll supply more than half of all lifesaving blood components for patients in greater Portland hospitals. That is 46,000 units of blood for the hospitals served by the OSWBP network, but we expect to collect less than one-third of that locally. Our ability to close this gap depends on Portland community support to sponsor and organize blood drives, give blood, and volunteer. Local supporters can donate through our Vancouver Donor Center and two mobile units that travel throughout the region.

Super Gavin Five-year-old is beating the odds with help from blood donors

When 3-year-old Gavin Mayes got sick, everyone thought it was just a bad case of the flu going around at school. He developed a high fever and cough. After a week of rest and fluids he was well enough to return to school. But soon the fever returned and he became shockingly pale. Blood tests were ordered. While they waited in the pediatrician’s office for results, the doctor prepared Gavin’s parents Ken and Charlene: it could be a bad case of mononucleosis, but in the very worst case, it could be leukemia.

“But the worst case stuff doesn’t happen to us,” thought Charlene. “I looked over at Gavin as he played with trains and thought, it has to be mono.” Around midnight the doctor came in and confirmed it was cancer. “My first thought after we found out Gavin had cancer was that I had to be dreaming,” says Ken. Within an hour they arrived at Seattle Children’s, where Gavin immediately received blood and platelet transfusions. “We found out at the hospital that his red cells and platelets

were really, really low—and he was probably just a couple days away from heart failure,” says Charlene. Gavin soon began a year of intensive chemotherapy. “The transfusions were vital to his treatment,” says Ken. “Because without them, he wouldn’t have even made it to treatment.” Today Gavin is in clinical remission, though his treatment will continue for the next two and a half to three years. “Gavin ultimately received 14 transfusions over the last year, and they expect him to have more,” says Charlene. “He is now five, and loves to tell people he kicked cancer’s butt!” The family credits many people for the love and support that helped keep them afloat during months of treatments—including blood donors. “We wouldn’t have our little boy today if it wasn’t for what they did,” reflects Charlene. Just seven months after Gavin was diagnosed, Charlene held her first blood drive at Cascade Community Church in Monroe on September 11, 2013 – an event that registered an incredible 59 donors, including two who gave blood for the first time. To date, she has organized three drives in Gavin’s honor, inspiring 104 donors to roll up their sleeves for our superhero. Two more drives are already planned for 2015.

Watch Ken, Koen, Gavin, Luci, and Charlene in the video “Dear PSBC” at psbc.org/impact.

About one-third of all blood transfusions go to patients diagnosed with cancer or other blood diseases. For some patients, the cancer itself results in the need for transfusion because of its impact on the marrow’s ability to make cells. For others, cancer treatment can lead to blood transfusion because of blood loss during surgery, or because the effects of chemotherapy or radiotherapy destroy the ability of blood-making cells in bone marrow to generate replacement cells.

Puget Sound Blood Center

Your Partner in Healthcare From the start Puget Sound Blood Center was much more than a place to give blood. Today we’re a unique provider of healthcare services for the community. We partner with more than 90 leading hospitals and clinics across the Pacific Northwest to save lives and deliver quality patient care to the community. Some of the many ways we’re saving lives may surprise you!

Umbilical Cord Blood Program PSBC is the first and only program in the Northwest to offer new mothers the opportunity to donate umbilical cord blood, providing patients with cancer and blood disorders new hope for recovery. We partner with 17 hospitals (and counting) across Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii. Imagine! The first thing you and baby do together can give someone else a second chance to live. Learn more at psbc.org/cordblood.

Transfusion Medicine Patients across the Northwest rely on PSBC to provide a safe, stable, and community-based blood supply. We provide 24/7 transfusion services and medical consultation, performing specialized tests to match patients with donor blood. PSBC Transfusion Safety Officers work on site in regional hospitals to ensure that blood transfusions are performed according to current best practices. Our physicians and investigators are research leaders in transfusion medicine.

Bone Marrow Program Each year, 10,000 people will need a marrow transplant. Sadly, only half will receive one. You can help. Working in concert with the national Be the Match® Registry, PSBC recruits prospective bone marrow donors for transplant to patients with leukemia and other diseases. We also coordinate further testing and handle all stem cell collection, medical history, exams, and follow-up. Learn how you can join at psbc.org/marrow.

Patient Services Our physicians and nurses are recognized as regional specialists in the therapeutic application of apheresis—procedures that separate blood into its components and to use to treat a range of blood disorders and disease. Our team is available any time, day or night, to perform therapeutic plasma exchanges, cell depletions, outpatient transfusion services, peripheral blood stem cell collections and red cell exchanges at area hospitals and outpatient care in our own clinic.

Hemophilia Care Program Established in 1974, our Hemophilia Care Program offers specialized physician and nursing care, diagnostic and genetic testing, medical assessment, and treatment of bleeding episodes, yearly check-ups, counseling, and bilingual support. Our program includes training for individuals and families so they can manage their own home care, along with physical therapy, low-cost medication, and 24/7 phone consultation. Learn more at psbc.org/hemophilia.

Specialty Diagnostic Laboratories Our four Specialty Diagnostic Laboratories provide around-the-clock specialized testing services. They support organ transplants, research, medical device development, clinical trials, and innovative studies with PSBC’s Research Institute. When a Pacific Northwest patient needs to be matched with a donor organ, a complex analysis takes place in our Immunogenetics/HLA Lab to find that “perfect match.” Our Platelet Immunology Lab, Genomics Testing Lab, and Hemostasis Lab improve care and safety for patients by testing and analyzing blood samples to diagnose disorders and determine treatment options.

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BLOOD AFTER DONATING? TRANSFUSION TO PATIENTS

Blood is transfused into a patient in need. Chances are that one day in your lifetime you’ll need a transfusion. Every year, we provide blood and laboratory services for more than 240,000 transfusions. Patients need blood for: - bleeding due to trauma or surgery; - inherited blood disorders; - leukemia or other forms of cancer treatment; - organ or bone marrow transplantation.

STORAGE AND DELIVERY

Blood is stored until it's ready to be delivered to 39 regional hospitals throughout the Pacific Northwest, and to six PSBC labs that support 48 King County hospitals and clinics.

Every day we register up to 1000 donors to meet the needs of patients across the Pacific Northwest. Immediately following donation, your blood begins a lifesaving journey. Our laboratories are staffed 24/7, working around the clock to process, test, and deliver blood to hospitals within 48 hours of donation. This is only possible with the generous help and dedicated support of our donors, volunteers, and financial contributors to ensure a stable and safe blood supply.

Each blood component has a different shelf life: Platelets expire after 5 days. Red blood cells expire after 42 days. Plasma can be used fresh, frozen or stored up to 12 months.

LABELING

Components are labeled with their ABO blood group and Rh type.

TESTING

Simultaneously, blood is typed and tested for pathogens like hepatitis B and C, HIV, syphilis, HTLV, and West Nile virus, among other things – 13 tests in total.

COLLECTION

About one pint of blood is collected in a bag, along with a few small vials for testing. The whole blood donation process, from registering to cookies, takes less than an hour! Blood is needed every day You can donate whole blood every 56 days, up to 6 times a year. You can donate single components of blood at different intervals: platelets up to 24 times each year, plasma every 28 days, and double red cells every 16 weeks.

What We’re Learning Today

Will Save Lives Tomorrow Blood is amazing! It carries oxygen and nutrients to every organ and tissue in your body. It fights infections. It helps heal wounds. It’s used in organ transplants and cancer therapies. Our research about blood is transforming medical science and patient care. We study the different ways blood is used in healthcare. We study red blood cells that transport oxygen throughout your body. And white cells—leukocytes—which are part of our immune system defending against infections. We are experts in platelets (thrombocytes), which prevent blood loss by plugging broken vessels—but which can also kill us when they form deadly clots. And we study plasma, the fluid in which all of these cells are suspended.

We’re Leaders in Transfusion Medicine About one in three people will need a transfusion at some time during his or her life. When traditional blood typing began more than 100 years ago, A, B, AB, O and Rh +/- groups were identified—eight types in all. After a patient receives a transfusion, antibodies can sometimes form. If a patient needs transfusion again, he or she may need specially

matched blood to prevent harmful immune reactions. We’re leaders in using genomic typing technologies to prevent these problems. Our research in this area is “translational”: what we’re learning in the lab can help to diagnose and treat patients in the hospital.

Imagine a World Where Early Detection and Intervention Prevents Heart Attacks and Strokes

Discoveries That Will Change Medical Science Worldwide

What do heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes, malaria, and lupus have in common?

Sherrill Slichter, MD, joined PSBC in 1970. Today she is a leading researcher in advancing research to extend the shelf life of blood platelets—the blood component involved in clotting that is used to control bleeding during surgeries, trauma care, organ transplants, and cancer treatment.

Each disease can result in unwanted clotting of blood vessels. It’s called thrombosis. It is our newest and biggest research challenge. In fact, heart attacks and strokes are the number one cause of premature death worldwide. Our blood research is playing a key role in advancing medical science and understanding to address these major threats to human health. Research helps us identify people at risk of clotting and conditions that create that risk. It can lead to earlier diagnosis, and to more effective treatment when clots do occur. We’re the only research team in the Northwest dedicated to thrombosis research.

Dr. Slichter’s research focuses on making the best possible use of donated platelets by extending their shelf life beyond the current five day maximum. Research indicates that reducing natural pathogens in the platelets and lowering storage temperatures can extend the useful life of platelets, helping patients worldwide. Slichter is also a professor of medicine in the division of hematology at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine.

What is a Blood Clot? Normally, our blood’s ability to clot is a good thing! Clotting helps stop bleeding when we cut ourselves. Problems arise when blood clots form when and where we don’t want them to and obstruct blood flow to the brain, heart, lungs, or legs. • A blood clot in an artery, usually in the heart or brain, is called arterial thrombosis and can cause heart attack or stroke. • Blood clots can form in your legs when you are immobile for periods of time, like on a long plane trip. Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot formation in your leg. • Pulmonary embolism is when a blood clot in your leg detaches and travels into your lungs. • It’s estimated that 20% of cancer patients experience thrombosis. • Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a disease where thrombi form in small vessels throughout the body in the brain, kidney, heart, liver, and pancreas. If untreated, people afflicted will die within a few days.

Puget Sound Blood Center

First it was unusual nose bleeds, and then unexplained bruises on the legs of 8-year-old Gracie Lindal. Parents Jennifer and Andy turned to Google: “children that bruise easily.” When leukemia came up as the first result, they stopped reading and headed to their pediatrician – now frightened about the possibilities. The next morning, an urgent call from the doctor explained the blood work showed Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP)—an autoimmune disease that was destroying Gracie’s platelets – the cells that help blood clot. “We were told: Pack a bag and get to the hospital,” remembers Jennifer. “Gracie needs a transfusion now.” On August 22, 2011, Gracie began a six hour Immunoglobulin treatment, bravely facing many uncomfortable side effects—itching, migraines, nausea, shakiness. Three days later, her platelet count was rising. “Our hopes were up that we were done with ITP.” While there is no known cause or cure for ITP, many children with ITP recover. While the Lindals returned home, life did not return to normal. Gracie had to give up bike rides and helping her mom cook because of the risk of getting cut. Third grade recess, PE, soccer, even music class were deemed too hazardous. Frequent medical visits and treatments to maintain a safe platelet count took an emotional toll on Gracie, but her parents and older brothers Sam and Will did their best to keep her spirits up.

Work in the Dr. Jill Johnsen laboratory at PSBC Research Institute could one day lead to discoveries that help us better understand, treat, and prevent ITP.

The most feared and rare complication from ITP is a bleed to the brain, as happens in a stroke. It occurs in less than 1 in 100 ITP patients. On December 4, 2011, Gracie woke up with a severe headache. The Lindal’s worst fear was realized. “Gracie suffered a brain hemorrhage and needed multiple platelet transfusions in a race against time to perform a lifesaving surgery,” says Jennifer. “But it was not enough. Our baby girl lost her fight with ITP two days later.” “Gracie brought joy and happiness to everyone she met,” says Jennifer, remembering her little girl who loved music and butterflies, and snuggling with her Duckie. One important way Jennifer and Andy honor Gracie’s memory is by regularly donating platelets together. “My first platelet donation was hard. I brought Gracie’s Duckie, because I needed the strength,” says Jennifer. “This is my time to focus on my daughter.” Jennifer also organizes the Pump it Up for Platelets, For the Love of Gracie—an ITP awareness walk. The 2014 event included a blood drive that registered 13 donors in just two and a half hours.

In Memory of Gary Wood – Kerri’s Story “He was an incredible man,” says Heritage Society member Kerri Wood of her late husband, Gary. In 1978, Gary and Kerri met and fell in love. In their 30-plus years together, they traveled all over the world on their sailboat; built a successful business together; and spent a lot of quality time with family, friends, and colleagues. In 2007, Gary was diagnosed with lymphoma. After two rounds of chemotherapy, he was in remission for two years, but became sick again and waited for a stem cell transplant for six months. It was then that he and Kerri learned about the importance of blood transfusions and PSBC. “The cancer

treatment wasn’t keeping him alive,” says Kerri. “Blood was.” After his transplant, Gary passed away from complications. In the midst of their grief, Kerri and others who were close to Gary have found some comfort in supporting PSBC through financial gifts and blood donations. Kerri is also advocating for PSBC whenever she gets the chance. She says, “I feel like I really need to get the word out. It’s good for me to be involved.” Read more about Kerri and Gary at psbc.org/tribute.

Lifeline Society Member Spotlight: Mitzi Carletti Mitzi Carletti is one of PSBC’s most devoted supporters. A member of our Board of Trustees from 2001 to 2007, Mitzi has remained an active member of the PSBC family over the years. She has served as co-chair of PSBC’s Spring for Life event, recruited new members for our Board of Trustees, served on the planning committee for the Faces for Life Gala and Auction, and made personal financial contributions. This year, Mitzi and her husband Chris are members of our Lifeline Society, a new giving circle that recognizes those who have increased their financial gifts by 10% or more from the prior fiscal year. As the need for PSBC’s lifesaving services increases, so too does the support from Mitzi and others in this generous group of individuals.

Lifeline Society members Mitzi and Chris Carletti with their sons Sam (left) and Wil (right) at the 2014 Faces for Life Gala and Auction.

“We support Puget Sound Blood Center because it literally gives life to our community,” says Mitzi. “The work they do touches everyone...they make miracles happen every day.” Thank you to Mitzi, Chris, and the other members of our Lifeline Society (recognized with a ± symbol in the contribution listings).
