Blood donors are registered electronically and should have their donor card or another form of identification with them to donate. To protect the safety of the donors and the donor team during a community drive, a number of safety measures are in place. Donors undergo a COVID -19 screening and phlebotomists limit close contact while still providing exceptional care. Phlebotomists and donors are masked and cots are placed an appropriate distance apart.

The Donor Center at 85 Plaza Blvd, is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Blood collected by the Adirondack Regional Blood Center stays in the North Country, helping hundreds of people in this region. Its success rests on the generosity of donors and sponsors.
