Blood Donation | von Willebrand Disease

Thanks to generous blood donors – and BloodCenter’s innovative research – Adelaide Yost is living a normal, healthy life.  Adelaide has von Willebrand disease. At age five, she had multiple spontaneous bleeds and received blood transfusions that helped save her life. “We were fortunate blood was available to treat our daughter. Now, we can look forward to her future,” says Adelaide’s mom, Katie.
