Black History Month in Beaumont

Remembering Dr. Charles Richard Drew

Have you or a loved one received a blood transfusion after an accident?

They just may owe their lives to this ground breaking African American Doctor, Charles Drew.

DREW, CHARLES RICHARD
Dr. Charles Richard Drew (1904-1950) was an American medical doctor and surgeon who started the idea of a blood bank and a system for the long term preservation of blood plasma (he found that plasma kept longer than whole blood). His ideas revolutionized the medical profession and have saved many, many lives. In Southeast Texas, many of us know people who have received blood after a car accident or an operation. How many of us can say that the work we have done saves lives every day?
