Hospitals typically obtain their blood supplies from blood banks and transfusion centers, which are often affiliated with organizations like the American Red Cross or local blood donation centers. These facilities collect, test, and process blood donations from volunteer donors to ensure safety and compatibility for patients. Blood is then stored and distributed to hospitals as needed for various medical procedures and emergencies. Additionally, hospitals may have their own blood donation drives to supplement their supply.
