Health Screening: Complete a basic wellness check, including blood pressure, temperature, and hemoglobin levels to confirm your eligibility.

Donation: Sit back, relax, and save lives! The process typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Try to wear comfortable clothing with short sleeves.

Rest & Refreshment: After your donation, replenish fluids and restore your energy with a complimentary snack. This is also a good time to read through your donor take-home instructions.
