❤️ 8 weeks. Every time. And every donation makes a difference.

Meet James, one of our amazing O-negative donors who we look forward to seeing every 8 weeks! 🩸

We’re so lucky to get to know the wonderful donors who make giving blood a regular part of their lives. Every donation can help patients in our community — from people undergoing surgery or cancer treatment to those recovering from accidents, experiencing blood loss or facing other medical emergencies.

You can make a difference, too! Give blood and help provide a lifesaving resource to patients when they need it most. ❤️

🩸 The holiday weekend is almost here, but the need for blood never takes a day off.

As people head out to celebrate, blood donations often decline — and right now, due to the busy summer our inventory is dropping. Donors of all blood types are urgently needed.

The good news? When you donate through the UP Regional Blood Center, your blood stays right here in the Upper Peninsula, helping patients at hospitals across our region. One donation can save up to three lives.

If you've been meaning to donate, now is the time. Help ensure lifesaving blood is available for neighbors, friends and loved ones who may need it.

❤️ Give local. Save local.

This is Mary, proudly representing the women at the blood center! 💜

Mary is one of our dedicated platelet donors, and we always look forward to the time we get to spend with her at the Regional Blood Center.

When her daughter was little, she would come along while Mary donated blood. Together, they would look at the milestone donor recognition wall and dream that one day Mary's name would be up there too. Today, that dream has become a reality.

Stories like Mary's remind us that every donation makes a difference and that a commitment to giving can inspire the next generation.

Thank you, Mary, for your dedication, generosity and the lives you've helped touch through your donations. ❤️

Meet Brad — one of our incredibly dedicated platelet donors. 💛

Donors like Brad are essential to helping us meet the daily platelet needs of 12 hospitals across the Upper Peninsula. Right now, every single day is a challenge to maintain the supply needed for patients facing cancer treatments, trauma, surgeries and other serious medical conditions.

Platelet donation takes a special kind of person. While a donation can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1½ hours, the impact can be lifesaving.

Recently, we’ve lost many of our regular platelet donors due to illness, aging and other unforeseen circumstances, which means the need for new donors has never been greater.

Brad’s commitment is making a difference, and we hope his milestone inspires others to consider giving the gift of time and hope through platelet donation.
