Women Outnumber Men 5-1 in Blood Banking
Patricia McCormack notes women dominate blood banking, with an AABB estimate of five women for every man in the field. Highlighted are Sister Moira, OSB, and Sara Edith Baker, a 90-year-old donor mobilizer, plus the bank system’s origins by Mrs. Bernice Hemphill. The piece covers annual collections by AABB and Red Cross, a JapanWest Coast art exhibit linked to donor rooms, and a credit-like blood bank clearing house system spreading donations across regions.
