Women Dominate Blood Banks Five to One
Patricia McCormack reports that the American Association of Blood Banks notes women vastly outnumber men in blood banking by five to one. The piece highlights Sister Moira OSB who secured a donor in North Dakota, and Sara Edith Baker of Miami as the oldest working blood bank donor, with leaders like Dr. Robert E. Klein praising women’s role. It cites 1963 figures showing nearly three million units collected by AABB and 2.1 million by Red Cross, emphasizing the female-led, credit-based bank concept coined by Bernice Hemphill.
