PUB – Quiet Dining Room (9208)
To make an appointment, call 800-398-7888 or sign up online.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY! Earn up to $500 by hosting a blood drive this summer (deadline: 9/30/17). Interested or know someone who might be? Email Wendy at WendyChu@bloodworksnw.org for more information.
How is my gift used? After donation, your volunteered blood is separated into three components (plasma, platelets, and red cells). These components are then transfused to a patient who may need either a combination of these components or a single component. This is how your donation can save up to three lives! Bloodworks donations are distributed to 70 hospitals and clinics in western Washington. Bloodworks is a nonprofit, volunteer-based blood center serving our community for over 75 years.
Thank you for your continued support and generosity!
