The UP Regional Blood Center is experiencing a critical need for blood donations of all types across the Upper Peninsula.
Maintaining a safe and stable blood supply depends on continued support from community donors. Each day, local patients rely on donated blood for surgeries, cancer treatments, trauma care and other medical needs.
If you are able, please consider scheduling an appointment to donate and help ensure lifesaving blood is available when it is needed.
Donations made through the UP Regional Blood Center support patients across the Upper Peninsula.
