University of Iowa DeGowin Blood Center

University of Iowa DeGowin Blood Center We are a hospital-based blood center that collects blood & platelets for UI Health Care patients. Soc Your blood donation will take about 45 minutes.

Did you know that all of our phlebotomists go through extensive training in order to provide the excellent care that you expect when you donate with DeGowin? This means that at times our other staff members chip in and become the test subjects (and this is where having no fear of needles comes in handy!). Only the best for our donors!
