Letter from the Director Dr. Ronald A. Sacher
“Our Donors Save Lives. Who Will You Save?” was the theme adopted by Hoxworth
Blood Center for our past fiscal year. The principles of this campaign remained similar
to our previous strategies in that we continue to seek out new donors, more frequent
donations and new community partners. This focus allowed us to identify our theme
for this year and beyond with a message that will continually emphasize our mission. It
is a message that represents the lifesaving work that transpires throughout Hoxworth;
from our donors, to our groundbreaking research projects and the latest and greatest
technological devices we use to safely and efficiently collect, test and distribute blood
components to patients in the 31 hospitals that we serve.
While reviewing this Report to the Community you will learn the value of blood donation
from three grateful recipients, as well as insightful information on new research at
Hoxworth, made possible through a very generous gift from the Deaconess Foundation
and the Heimlich Institute.
As we progress into our 74th year of collecting blood components and saving lives,
we ask you to join us. Your commitment to become a volunteer blood donor can
significantly decrease the risk of a blood shortage to patients in our community. With
that invitation, just one question remains: Who will you save?

Recipient Story Roger Bockweg
Roger Bockweg and his family exemplify the transformative impact of blood donation.
Nearly eight years ago, Roger’s world was forever changed when he became a blood recipient
for the first time.
In April of 2003, Roger faced another battle with ongoing Ulcerative Colitis, a painful
intestinal disorder affecting less than 0.1 percent of Americans. Adults living with ulcerative
colitus know all too well that in addition to chronic discomfort, therapy for the disorder
comes with a high risk of internal bleeding. For Roger, this risk became reality, requiring
doctors to use nearly 30 units of blood products during three hours of lifesaving surgery.
Roger would receive an additonal 20 pints of blood and undergo two additional surgeries
over the next nine months.
After his two-year-recovery, Roger made the decision to alter his lifestyle to reflect the
positivity of his experience. Roger left his job in commercial software sales and mobile
communication to pursue a more fulfulling career. Because his long recovery necessitated
workouts in the gym to regain strength lost during his illness, Roger entered the field of
commercial fitness equipment sales to clients such as universities, hospitals and gyms.
Roger’s family was also inspired to changes their lives. Roger’s health crisis inspired his wife
to leave her job as a technical writer and go back to school to become a registered nurse.
In March of 2011, she celebrated her 3-year anniversary as an RN at St. Elizabeth Hospital.
Following in the family tradition, the Bockwegs oldest daughter attends the University of
Louisville where she is studying to become an RN.
Needless to say, Roger and his loved ones will never forget the sacrifice that made his life,
recovery and transformation possible. “Everyday I wake up, I get to be a part of all of this,
because 30 people cared enough to give blood.”

Recipient Story Maya Patel
Maya Patel is like any other little girl with a big smile and a heart
to match. But just two years ago Maya began a harrowing
journey. In September 2009, Maya was diagnosed with
Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).
HLH is a rare, life threatening immune deficiency disorder that
primarily affects children. Such an ominous diagnosis comes
with an equally uncertain prognosis. Within 48 hours of initial
treatment of flu-like symptoms, Maya became critically ill and
was placed on ventillator support. She received multiple units of
platelets and packed red cell transfusions. After receiving the
news of Maya’s diagnosis, the Patel family learned the only
treatment option for HLH is chemotherapy, and the only cure
would be a bone marrow transplant.
After a few months of condition-stabilizing chemotherapy, Maya
arrived at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center for a
bone marrow transplant. Over the next few months, Maya was
administered aggressive chemotherapy and underwent two bone
marrow infusions. She required multiple transfusions of blood
and platelets, receiving as many as three and four units of
platelets per day.
Maya Patel loves to dress up as her favorite
Disney Princess, Belle from Beauty and The
Beast.
Maya’s life was saved thanks to the expertise of doctors and
nurses, the vigiliance and support of her family, and the selfless
giving of blood donors. Because of the commitment and
generosity of blood donors, Maya has the chance to embrance
life and enjoy doing everything she loves, like singing, dancing,
reading and playing with her brother.

Coordinator Story
DeAngelo Simmons
DeAngelo Simmons is a family oriented, hard-working man on a mission. He is the
founder of 365 Never Ending Fight (365NEF), an organization designed to help build
self-esteem for children with sickle cell anemia.
careers and families of their own, with the support of his
physicians and the many blood donors who aid him in
his fight.
At the age of five, DeAngelo was diagnosed with Sickle Cell disease at the Cincinnati
Children’s Hospital Medical Center. As a young child, he rarely experienced complications.
This changed at the age of 17, when he suffered a mild stroke. This event led to many
types of treatments over the years, including a few blood transfusions.
DeAngelo assists Hoxworth Blood Center in promoting
blood drives to African American donors in the Tri-State.
His most recent effort was recruiting donors for the
Sickle Cell Awareness Blood Drive in September.
To this day, DeAngelo doesn’t let his disease stop him from doing things that he loves,
such as playing basketball with his son. DeAngelo struggles with the effects of Sickle Cell
disease everyday, but is determined to win this battle for his family. He is grateful to those
who continue to donate blood. He looks forward to seeing his children graduate, start

Research Story
Heimlich Foundation funds research
The researchers at Hoxworth Blood Center were pleased to receive an award from
the Deaconess Associations Foundation and the Heimlich Institute totaling
$615,000 to aid in the new development of cellular therapy treatments for
patients.
The award is being used to fund two studies by Hoxworth researchers. Thomas
Leemhuis, PhD and his research group are developing a manuafacturing process
for an experimental cell therapy product. The invention could benefit bone
marrow transplant patients who acquire life-threatening viral infections post
transplant. Research has shown that cultured T-lymphocytes will kill virallyinfected cells in the laboratory. Researchers are already seeking FDA permission
to conduct a clinical trial.
Additionally, research by Dr. Jose Cancelas’s, M.D., PhD. is evaluating mechanisms
of stem cell mobilization from bone marrow. That will enable the understanding
of stem cell migration into the blood stream.
“We are grateful for the suport given to us by the Deaconess/Hemilich donation”
said Dr. Ronald Sacher, director Hoxworth Blood Center. “We have made
considerable progress since the program started over a year ago, and are optimistic
that the success of our efforts supported by this generous gift will help patients
both in our community and throughout the world.”

Close proximity to several colleges and universities is a great benefit to Hoxworth Blood Center. These institutions
champion our mission and encourage their students, faculty and staff to become blood donors. The above chart depicts the top
six producing college blood drives during fiscal year 2011. Many of these institutions have hosted multiple drives throughout the
