When you give blood, you save lives and improve the health of your community. But it’s not just about what you give, where you give also makes a difference. Miller-Keystone Blood Center serves 35 local hospitals in our region. That means your blood can save the lives of family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers and others in the area that may need your help. On an annual basis, Miller-Keystone Blood Center needs over 100,000 units of blood to help save patients in our local hospitals – that’s 350 donors every day.
There is an incredibly good chance you know someone who has needed blood at some point in their life.
Especially critically needed: A-, B+, B-, AB-, O-, O+, AB plasma
