Albertans in the Edmonton area who donate blood will soon have a new facility in which to give the gift of life.
The Canadian Blood Services Edmonton Donor Centre is moving to a building in the Whitemud Crossing shopping complex (4211 – 106 St. NW), located on the south side of Whitemud Drive, between 106 Street and Calgary Trail.
The agency said the new site is set to welcome donors starting in April, and will replace the current location at 8249 – 114 Street NW beside the University of Alberta Hospital.
The lease of the current location is ending, Canadian Blood Services said.
“The new donor centre is designed according to a national standard to enhance operational efficiency as well as improve and modernize donor experience,” Canadian Blood Services said in a statement.
