The last year and a half have been like nothing any of us have ever experienced before. The nation’s blood supply has also felt the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Mass General Blood Donor Center is encouraging healthy individuals to donate and help maintain a consistent supply of whole blood and platelets over the upcoming weeks and months.
If you wish to donate, the Blood Donor Center asks that you schedule an appointment. There are several ways to do so:
For platelet donations, please allow about two hours for the appointment.
Walk-in appointments for whole blood will be accepted as our schedule allows. Appointments are encouraged.
All blood donors must meet Massachusetts General Hospital’s eligibility requirements to donate whole blood, platelets or red blood cells.
Mass General has received a revolutionary gift of $50 million from Robert K. Kraft and The Kraft Family Foundation to address healthcare disparities caused by race, ethnicity, geography, and economic status.
For 20 years, Kelly Morley has been an employee within Mass General Brigham.
