Blood on Board is a life-saving initiative led by the Richland Fire & Emergency Services Department to bring blood transfusions directly to patients in the field, when every second matters most.

By equipping ambulances with life-saving blood products and training paramedics to administer transfusions before a patient reaches the hospital, Richland is helping close the critical gap between injury and definitive care. This program represents a major advancement in emergency medical services, improving survival outcomes for trauma patients and reinforcing our commitment to delivering the right care at the right time, where it’s needed most.
