Blood Donation Saves Lives
The Adirondack Blood Center no longer accepts blood and platelet donations.
Your commitment to blood and platelet donation helps save lives every day. In that spirit, we encourage you to continue supporting our community by donating through the American Red Cross to help ensure a reliable blood supply for patients in need.
Blood donors can retain credit for blood and/or platelet donations to the Adirondack Blood Center by becoming a Red Cross blood and/or platelet donor. Once you’ve donated at least one time with the Red Cross, you can contact the Customer Care Group at CostumerCare@redcross.org or 1-800-RED Cross (1-800-733-2767) and press prompt blood) to request your donation history be updated.
Please note that the Red Cross is only able to add your Total Overall Units or Total Overall Donations to your donor record in their system. Once your donation data from outside the Red Cross is added (in total numbers as noted above) your recognition experience will vary.
You can find a schedule of local Red Cross blood drives through several convenient options:
- Online Locator: Visit the Red Cross “Find a Drive” tool and search by ZIP code to see nearby blood drives and donation centers. www.redcross.org.

Therapeutic phlebotomy services are now offered at the CVPH Infusion Center, located on the second floor of 214 Cornelia St. Appointments are required and a current provider order on file.
Patients can schedule a therapeutic blood draw by calling the Infusion Center at 518-314-3554.
Separate from the Adirondack Donor Center, the CVPH Blood Bank continues to test, screen, store and distribute blood and blood products for patients needing transfusions at CVPH, Alice Hyde Medical Center and Elizabethtown Community Hospital (both Elizabethtown and Ticonderoga campuses).
A Safe, Reliable Blood Supply for the Region
Our commitment to a safe, reliable blood supply for our patients and this community continues through this collaboration with the American Red Cross as we transition our blood acquisition services to the nationally recognized organization. Like over 40 percent of hospitals in the country, we, along with our University of Vermont Health partners, Alice Hyde Medical Center and Elizabethtown Community Hospital (including the Ticonderoga Campus), receive all our blood and blood products from the Red Cross.
This collaboration ensures a dependable blood supply for our community and helps us preserve access to care by allowing us to focus our resources on the essential services our patients rely on while supporting our long-term financial sustainability.
