With the outbreak of COVID-19, there is currently an urgent need for blood donors. Many things have changed…the need for blood has not changed. Patients with sickle cell, cancer, trauma, and other medical needs still rely on blood products to survive. As part of recent state regulations, all donors must wear a personalized mask or face cover.
Please donate!

*COVID19 antibody test for all donors*
-Antibody test is provided to all donors. This test is done automatically as part of the donation and there is no donor opt-out.
-Antibody testing is in addition to the mandatory infectious disease testing for all blood donations Versiti provides to the FDA.
-The test will notify the donor if there are antibodies that reflect a previous COVID-19 infection.
-No test is used to inform the donor if they currently have COVID-19.
-Versiti cannot provide antibody testing without blood donation and cannot accept walk-ins that only want SARS CoV-2 testing.
Versiti Blood Centers has taken precautions to keep staff, donors and hosts safe.
