Here is a summary of the policies currently in place at all of the donation sites: 

  • As always, all of our equipment during the donation process is sterilized, and most is single-use only.
  • Hand sanitizers are placed next to all donation chairs and in each history booth.
  • All donor areas, including the reception/waiting area, canteen, history booths and donation chairs are cleaned frequently.
  • We have increased the spacing between donation chairs to approximately six feet apart or more (to the extent possible) so that there is more distance between donors during the donation process.
  • SBC team members wear face masks and gloves while interacting with donors during the entire donation process.
  • SBC is continuing to strictly enforce the policy that team members must NOT report to work if they are feeling unwell.

Blood centers remain open as hospital patients continue to require life-saving donations and there is a need now more than ever for community members to come donate.  Stanford Blood Center is honored that the Western Wheelers have supported local patients by giving blood as a group since 2012.

We are an important part of their life-saving team!  Come out and join your fellow Wheelers.  You can make an appointment at the links above or call 888-723-7831, or email at givebloodSBC@stanford.edu

Be sure to tell the receptionist when you check in that you are participating in the Western Wheelers blood drive.

Due to the 24-hour exercise restriction following blood donation, please plan on auto transportation to get home.)
