UPDATE: The schedule is nearly full. If you are available and wish to take a chance, you might be able to sneak in at 3:10 or between 5:05-5:40. Sorry if we were able to accommodate your schedule this time.

Versiti was formerly known as Blood Center of Wisconsin. It is the blood provider for Fort Memorial Hospital and Aurora Lakeland Hospital.

We hope that you will consider donating. Appointments are strongly recommended. You may sign up at bit.ly/whitewateraug2020 or by calling Lynn at 262-473-2997.

UPDATE: COVID-19 Antibody Testing Begins

Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin is pleased to announce the SARS CoV-2 antibody test will be performed on all donations beginning August 17th, as part of our standard testing. We will be conducting this test as we continue to fight the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with the help of our donors.

The antibody test will be performed on all successful donations at every Versiti blood center and blood drive. This test will be done automatically on tubes that are collected as part of the donation, in addition to FDA mandated infectious disease testing for all blood donations Versiti already performs.

The test will inform donors if they have antibodies reflective of a prior COVID-19 infection and is not to inform donors if they currently have COVID-19.  For more information see www.fda.gov and www.versiti.org/covid19
