AUSTIN, Texas, July 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Secure Transfusion Solutions (STS), a private life sciences company pioneering innovative blood transfusion solutions in an effort to overcome the nation’s growing blood and platelet shortage, announced it has changed its name from “Secure Transfusion Services” to “Secure Transfusion Solutions” and has moved its headquarters from South San Francisco, California to Austin, Texas. STS provides healthcare institutions, both large and small, with a consistent and reliable supplemental source of platelets, while also aiming to increase the quality, safety, and availability of platelets and other transfusable blood components.

The transition of the company’s name comes at a time of rapid expansion and continued growth within the blood transfusion industry. Today, STS’ brand and donor-facing entity, Trusting Heart Blood Center (THBC), announced the opening of its new platelet collection facility in Beaverton, Oregon, making it the third center opened since THBC’s inception alongside those in Edina, Minnesota and Raleigh, North Carolina which opened in the Spring of 2020 and March of 2022, respectively.

“The opening of the THBC Beaverton collection center marks a major milestone in our mission to permanently increase patient and hospital access to secure and sustainable platelet supplies across the nation,” said Vijai Mohan, Founder and CEO of Secure Transfusion Solutions. “Our new company name reinforces our commitment to be more than just a service provider. Instead, STS offers immediate and permanent solutions to the growing challenges that upend the provisioning of life saving care for patients in the hospital setting.”

The new THBC donation facility is located at 11350 SW Canyon Rd, Suite 201 in Beaverton, OR and is now accepting platelet donations. Those interested in donating platelets and joining our mission can register for their first donation, in each of our locations, on our website, here.

About the Platelet Shortage

Each day, hospitals around the U.S. require an average of 7,000 platelet doses, and with the national blood and platelet shortage, a significant number of hospitals struggle to meet this demand. The majority of platelet transfusions at hospitals are used to prevent bleeding in certain cancer patients and those undergoing cardiac surgeries and organ transplants. Platelets have a shorter shelf life than typical blood components alone and must be transfused within five to seven days from collection, driving a continuous need. Exacerbated by industry challenges to the effective recruitment of blood donors, hospital demand for platelet units continues to exceed available supply.
