Value
Our balanced approach to meeting patients’ needs

Working closely with health systems across the country, Canadian Blood Services delivers value in three ways:  by improving patient outcomes, by enhancing system performance and by optimizing cost-efficiency. In everything we do — every plan we create, every product and service we develop, every partnership we forge — we strive for an ideal balance among these three dimensions to best meet the expectations of our diverse stakeholders.
