This month's spotlight is Miller-Keystone Blood Center.

Your Community’s Only Blood Resource

Where you give blood does make a difference. It is important to know that Miller-Keystone Blood Center is the only blood supplier to The Reading Hospital and Medical Center, and St. Joseph Medical Center, as well as the Blue Mountain Health System, Easton Hospital, Greater Hazleton Health Alliance, Hackettstown Regional Medical Center, Lehigh Valley Hospital Health Network, Pottstown Memorial Medical Center, Sacred Heart Hospital, St. Luke's Hospital & Health Network and Warren Hospital.

When you give through Miller-Keystone, you are doing more to help your family, friends, neighbors and your local community, by ensuring that the blood needs of patients in our community’s hospitals are met.

Established in 1971, Miller-Keystone Blood Center is a not-for-profit, 501(c)3 organization, and only one of five blood centers nationwide to achieve the ISO9000 quality certification. Last year, the Blood Center scheduled more than 88,000 donors, collecting nearly 72,000 units of blood which were processed into over 147,000 life-saving blood products.

Miller-Keystone Blood Center operates six (6) fixed site locations for our donors’ convenience, in Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Hazleton, Reading and Wind Gap (PA); and also hosts more than 1,000 onsite bloodmobile drives annually.
