How to Donate Plasma for Money in Dallas

Hospitals use plasma donations to transfuse into patients with blood disorders, such as hemophilia. Plasma is also used on patients who have lost blood because of severe burns, surgeries or trauma. Your plasma could save the life of a Dallas hospital patient with an immune disorder or one who has been exposed to rabies or hepatitis. Your donation is wanted, and highly needed, and you will be compensated for your time and donation.
