Donate blood and save a life with Mile Bluff Medical Center! - Juneau County

Throughout the year, Mile Bluff Medical Center hosts a number of community blood drives.  The events are a partnership between the medical center and the Blood Center of Wisconsin - the sole supplier of blood products to Mile Bluff. 

Join your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors, and do your part to help save lives by coming to the next blood drive at Mile Bluff.  The event is scheduled for Tuesday, February 28 from 7 am to 12 pm.

Each donation made at Mile Bluff could touch the lives of up to three people in the community.   At this drive, you will have the option to make a whole blood donation (which is made up of red blood cells, platelets, plasma and white blood cells), or you can give a dual red or platelet-only donation. 

You can help someone in need.  Make a blood donation on February 28 during the drive at Mile Bluff Medical Center in Mauston.  To reserve your spot, call the Blood Center of Wisconsin at 1-877-232-4376 or log-on to www.bcw.edu/milebluff to make an appointment. Walk-ins are welcome.
