New donor eligibility guidelines
As of June 4, 2024, our acceptance criteria for those who have a diagnosis of cancer has changed. If you have been treated with chemotherapy or radiation, you will be eligible to donate one year post completion of treatment. If you have been treated with surgery, please give us a call. Leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and multiple myeloma still remain a permanent deferral.
