It has formerly been known as the Puget Sound Blood Center and King County Central Blood Bank. HistoryBloodworks Northwest was founded in 1944 as the King County Central Blood Bank. Its first director, Richard Czajkowski, was retained the same year, leading the organization until his retirement in 1967. Originally serving hospitals in King County, Washington, King County Central Blood Bank gradually expanded its service area to include Kitsap, Whatcom, Skagit, Mason, Thurston, Jefferson, and Clallam counties. In 1974 it was renamed Puget Sound Blood Center to better reflect its growing geography. In 1991 the reach of Puget Sound Blood Center expanded further when it was merged with the Snohomish-Island Counties Blood Bank. The blood bank rebranded itself again, in 2015, adopting the name Bloodworks Northwest.[3] OperationsBloodworks Northwest operates 11 donation centers in western Washington, as well as mobile donation vehicles.[3] Bloodworks Northwest claims it collects about 900 units of blood each day. Bloodworks Northwest also partners with western Washington hospitals to collect and preserve umbilical cord blood from new mothers, which are harvested for stem cells used in research and cancer treatment. The cord blood program was initiated in 1998 with a start-up grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.[4] In addition to its blood transfusion programs, Bloodworks Northwest also operates a hematology research institute. The Bloodworks Northwest Research Institute is housed in a facility in the Eastlake neighborhood of Seattle. According to the organization, it employs a scientific staff of about 70.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Puget Sound Blood Center And Program|url=http://www.sos.wa.gov/charities/search_detail.aspx?charity_id=3839|website=Washington Secretary of State Charities Division|accessdate=February 20, 2015}} 2. ^{{cite news|last1=Parkhurst|first1=Emily|title=Puget Sound Blood Center chief 'pleased' FDA ending ban on gay male blood donors|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/blog/health-care-inc/2014/12/puget-sound-blood-center-chief-pleased-fda-ending.html|accessdate=February 20, 2015|work=Puget Sound Business Journal|date=December 24, 2014}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Aleccia|first1=Jonel|title=Puget Sound Blood Center changes name to Bloodworks Northwest|url=http://blogs.seattletimes.com/today/2015/02/puget-sound-blood-center-changes-name-to-bloodworks-northwest/|accessdate=February 20, 2015|work=Seattle Times|date=February 4, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Davidow|first1=Julie|title=The use of umbilical cord blood to help fight diseases is on the rise|url=http://www.seattlepi.com/lifestyle/health/article/The-use-of-umbilical-cord-blood-to-help-fight-1210630.php|accessdate=February 20, 2015|work=Seattle Post-Intelligencer|date=August 2, 2006}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Research at Bloodworks Northwest|url=http://www.bloodworksnw.org/research/index.htm|website=bloodworksnw.org|publisher=Bloodworks Northwest|accessdate=February 20, 2015}} External links
