The global scientific community has made strides in advancing research and clinical therapies to better the lives of patients suffering from a variety of diseases and disorders. To continue these efforts, researchers need a reliable source of biological specimens – this is where you come in! Your donation can help accelerate efforts to find a cure or end diseases such as cancer, immune and degenerative conditions and genetic disorders.
Donors of all backgrounds, ethnicity and blood types are encouraged to participate as often as possible.
Review our eligibility requirements and familiarize yourself with the donation process. Our friendly staff is here to make sure your donation is safe, comfortable and convenient. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have.
1. Contact Us
Contact our donor recruitment coordinator to conduct a pre-screening phone interview consisting of basic health questions. Be sure to bring a valid government-issued photo ID, proof of Social Security number and proof of a permanent address with you on the day of donation.
2. On-site Health Screening
If you qualify to donate based on the pre-screen, your visit will include an on-site health screening where your weight, blood pressure and pulse are measured and your veins assessed. We will also obtain a blood sample to see if your cell count falls within normal range.
3. Donate
If you meet the eligibility requirements, we’ll inform you about our varying donation options. If you agree to participate in one of our programs, we will escort you to the donor room or schedule your donation appointment.
4. Post Donation
Relax and enjoy refreshments while you recover. Donors are compensated in appreciation for their time and efforts based on the collection performed. Please call our nearest donor center to discuss compensation details.
