As the premier Level I trauma center for a 22-county area of South Texas, University Hospital is always in need of an adequate blood supply. The University Hospital Blood Bank was established to provide blood needed for our patients and relies on employees, friends, family members, visitors and the community for blood donations.

How companies can host a blood drive:
Your blood donations help us save our patients’ lives. All blood donated to University Health System is used in-house by our patients. There are three ways your organization can donate:

  1. By donating at University Hospital. We can set a specific date or week aside for your employees to come in individually or as a group. Donors may walk in at any time during our hours of operations. Appointments can be made, but are not necessary.
  2. By donating at one of our already scheduled drives. Our center conducts mobile drives all around San Antonio. We can help you locate which drives may be close to you and your team.

Our hours are:
Monday and Wednesday
 8:30 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Tuesday and Thursday
8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Friday
7 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday
Closed
