§ 7252 Patient Blood Donation Consent

• •If you're a patient in a state hospital, you can choose to give blood to a licensed nonprofit blood bank.
• •You need permission from the hospital's boss and the head doctor to do this.
• •The blood bank must be approved by the state health department.

A person staying in a state hospital wants to help others by donating blood.

They can do this only if the hospital's top boss and doctor say it's okay, and the blood goes to a nonprofit blood bank that the state has approved.
