Blood Donation Center

At Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center, your health and safety, along with the health and safety of our staff, are our top priorities. Our institutions are closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19 (2019 Novel Coronavirus). The Kraft Family Blood Donor Center at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital is continuing to accept blood and platelet donors in a safe and controlled environment. This letter from the Kraft Blood Donor Center will provide detailed information about donating blood at this time.
