| - This is Toronto's main donation clinic, and is the only one that does plateletpheresis, that's the blood clotting agent needed by cancer patients.
I've been donating platelets here for years, and seen the technology change considerably. With platelets, a donor can make a donation every two weeks, unlike whole-blood donations that require an eight-week wait. It is an investment in time to donate platelets, usually a two to three hour commitment, but it is worth it.
Since this is a permanent clinic, it's the same friendly and competent staff waiting on you. The clinic has really comfortable beds for the one to two hour donation.
On Thursday evenings, there is free pizza, on top of the always free coffee and treats.
The donation process is by appointment only, so please make an appoint today and save a life or two.
