Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center Welcomes you! You may go directly to the motor coach whenever you are ready. Although appointments can be made ahead of time, no one is turned away. If the techs have squeezed in a donor walk-in during your appointment time, your understanding is appreciated. We have many donors who were simply out for a walk and saw the opportunity or otherwise heard about it at the last minute and decided to donate. Thank you! Mary Ellen Yale, Coordinator
