About the process
Other regulations |
The Garth Englund Blood Donation Centers accept blood donations from community members. Blood donations are welcomed and greatly appreciated by our patients.
The donated blood is used for surgical and blood transfusion patients at the Medical Center of the Rockies and Poudre Valley Hospital.
Community members who have pending surgery or other blood treatments may donate blood for their own use during the procedures.
The donation process takes about 45 minutes. This includes the time needed to fill out health history and consent forms. The actual drawing of blood -- a pint -- takes five to 10 minutes.
The Garth Englund Blood Donation Center, a service of PVH, has collection sites within MCR and two blocks north of PVH. The hours of operation vary at each site. See the hours below.
To donate, a person must be at least 18 years old (or 17 with a parent's permission) and show a photo identification. New donors must weigh at least 120 pounds and be in good health. Prior donors must weigh at least 110 pounds.
Other regulations exist. These concern major illnesses, pregnancy, traveling out of the U.S., and other issues. Please check these other regulations.
Scheduling an appointment for donating is encouraged. Walk-in donors are gladly accepted at either Garth Englund location.
Sometimes a high need arises for donors with certain blood types. In those cases, the local media helps with public announcements and information is posted on pvhs.org and PVHS' social media channels, including Facebook and Twitter.
Poudre Valley Health System participates in the National Marrow Donor Program. More information can be found at one of the Garth Englund Blood Donation Centers or the Marrow Donor Program at PVHS.
