Critical Blood Shortage in Northern Colorado: Donate With Me

There is currently a critical blood shortage of all blood types in Northern Colorado, due to recent traumas, cold and flu season, and other high needs. 50 units a day are needed to keep up with the demand for life saving blood transfusions. Can you donate with me at NCMC in Greeley today?

The North Colorado Medical Center Blood Donor Center is open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm today and 7:00 am to 4:30 pm on Friday, and is located at 1801 16th Street in the south east corner of the hospital in Greeley. Only 4% of the local community typically donate, and every possible unit is needed. This is something we can all do to help. Call (970) 350-6100 to schedule an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome.
