AADP High School Internship Program Policy

Because there are so few registered minority donors, the odds of a minority patientsurviving a blood cancer, like leukemia, are extremely low. Our goal is to increase thisdonor pool, by holding marrow/stem cell drives to recruit more minority donors so that
every patient searching for an unrelated donor will find a match.
