STS owns and operates commercial blood centers under the name Trusting Heart Blood Center. Our goal is to provide a safe, reliable additional source of pathogen-reduced apheresis platelets to hospitals.
Our innovative approach utilizes:
- 100% pathogen-reduced components. STS utilizes the Cerus Intercept system on all collected platelet units
- Best in class safety standards. STS performs infectious disease testing on all donors on two separate occasions
- World-class donor experience. Our spa-like donor centers deliver an enjoyable and relaxing donor experience while attracting a younger donor demographic
- Efficient collection processes. Focus on split rate drives operational efficiencies and cost-savings that are passed on to our hospital customers
- Responsible compensated donor model. STS taps into a dedicated, pre-screened donor base to augment the existing volunteer donor system
- Surge Capacity for Holiday Shortages
