When Puget Sound Blood Center launched the Southwest Washington Blood Program, it also designed and created a new, state-of-the-art blood collection mobile vehicle for the Blood Program.
At 40’ long, the new bloodmobile was designed for the Southwest Washington Blood Program to provide maximum comfort and accessibility. Outfitted with both a front and rear entrance, the vehicle will come equipped with two screening rooms, five donor beds and a full post-donation canteen area. The vehicle also features a new generation of quiet 20-kilowatt generators, a microwave oven, two small refrigerators and three roof-mounted air conditioners. The bloodmobile has also been outfitted with specially designed foldaway brackets and tables to ensure space is effectively utilized.
The exterior design of the bus is unique. It is wrapped in a huge mural depicting blue skies and a child imagining a better world where he can “Imagine Saving a Life.” The Blood Program schedules the vehicle at community blood drives four to six times a week, approximately 20-30 drives per month.
