Why did Beaufort Memorial decide to become a Blood Conservation Hospital?
Blood transfusions have been an accepted medical practice for many years. However, today, healthcare professionals are learning that there can be risks that go along with it. As a blood conservation hospital, other methods may be used to reduce your chances of having to receive blood. Using blood conservation methods, hospitals are finding that patients may recover faster, heal more quickly, and go home sooner than those who receive blood transfusions.
