Schedule your blood donor screening

Schedule a blood donor screening and learn how you can help advance medical research and be paid for your time! By donating with our friendly team in Emeryville, you can help provide scientists with the material needed to discover new drugs and therapies for cancer and autoimmune disorders.

More appointments are added on a weekly basis. If nothing is available, please check back in a week. If you do not see an appointment time listed in the calendar that works for your schedule, please call us at 510-495-0232 and we will try to accommodate your schedule.

Please Note: Our Donor Center is experiencing a temporary slowdown in donation volume as we implement improvements to our systems. We are currently scheduling donation appointments 6-8 weeks in advance.
