Chula Vista's East H Street donor center for San Diego Blood Bank ranks as the nonprofit's second-largest fixed-site collection facility, located at Suite 210 in Terra Nova Plaza. Established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1950, SDBB supplies more than 150,000 units of blood annually to Southern California hospitals, including acute-care campuses such as Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center. This Chula Vista location opened in May 2022, returning a permanent South Bay donation site to the region after nearly three decades without one. Donation types at this H Street facility include whole blood, platelets via apheresis, double red cell collection, and plasma — critical supply lines that support surgical teams and emergency departments at facilities including Marque Urgent Care across the region. Apheresis technology at the center separates platelets, plasma, and red cells during a single seated donation, enabling double-red-cell collection cycles that yield twice the erythrocyte volume of a standard whole-blood draw.
