About Bloodless Medicine
For many patients, blood transfusion is not an option, whether for religious reasons or safety concerns. The Johns Hopkins Bloodless Medicine and Surgery team understands and respects this view. We are experts in patient blood management, improving health outcomes and creating peace of mind for those who seek the very best healthcare, without the use of blood or blood products.
