Your Donation

The entire process of a blood donation takes about 45 minutes while we:

  • Verify Your Eligibility
    A healthcare professional will ask you about your medical history and your general health on the day of donation.
  • Check Your Vital Signs
    One of our staff members will check your blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and take a blood sample for anemia.

  • Begin Your Donation Process
    A whole blood donation takes only 15 minutes.  It is important for you to relax.  Your body starts replenishing blood almost immediately.  Blood can be donated every 8 weeks. 
  • Ready for Departure
    We will provide you with cookies, juice, and validation for your parking.  If it's your second time donating blood at our Blood Donor Center, we'll make your a Donor Identification Card to make things easier for you next time you come.
