Support Reforms to Protect the Blood Community from Cyberattacks

Your Voice Matters: Take Action Now

Cyberattacks on blood centers aren't just a problem for hospitals or healthcare professionals – they're a threat that could impact every single one of us. Here's why you should care and take action: 

• It's a matter of life and death: Blood centers are the unsung heroes of our healthcare system. A cyberattack that disrupts blood collection or distribution could mean delayed surgeries, compromised emergency responses, and lives lost.  
• It affects everyone: Whether you're a regular blood donor, a potential recipient, or simply someone who cares about public health, the security of our blood supply impacts you. 
• It's a national security issue: Our blood supply is part of our critical healthcare infrastructure. Protecting it from cyber threats is as important as safeguarding our power grid or financial systems. 
• It highlights a broader vulnerability: The challenges faced by blood centers in updating their cybersecurity reflect a wider issue in our healthcare system. Many vital institutions are operating with outdated technology, leaving them – and us – at risk.
