The NIH Blood Bank has relocated to a new and improved facility. The new location is off the central corridor of the original Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center in Rm. 1N224. Parking for blood donors remains available on the first floor of MLP-9.

To get to the new location from Masur Auditorium, make a right turn immediately after walking past the main elevator bank. It is just around the corner from the FAES coffee shop.

There is a great need for O positive and O negative blood donors. Platelet donors are also urgently needed. Donations remain critical to supporting patients.

To schedule a donation, visit https://www.cc.nih.gov/blooddonor or call (301) 496-1048.
