This past summer we challenged the and units to support the community with a friendly blood drive competition. The results for summer 2026 (July-September) are in and we are proud to announce our current standing in first place! This is a year-long initiative benefiting so there is still time to participate. Schedule your life saving blood (or platelet) donation today, then log your donation on the Blood & Platelet Center Lifesaver Club Form and reference NAVAL SCIENCE for question 5 on participating departments. 😉

Who doesn’t love friendly competition? We challenged the and units all in support of the community and are seeking your help. The Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center is consistently ranked as one of the top American hospitals. They rely on the UCLA Blood and Platelet Center as a critical source for blood supply. We need YOU to schedule your life saving blood (or platelet) donation today, and then let them know the Naval Science department sent you!

Small acts, big impact. The Blood & Platelet Center is the primary source of blood for Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center – consistently ranked as one of the top American hospitals, and the BEST in the WEST. It takes a community to achieve those ratings so during summer (especially), when most students take a much-needed break, we ask our community to help keep the flow. *pun intended.* To speak to a Blood & Platelet staff member or to schedule a blood donation appointment, please call (310) 825-0888 and select option 2. On the day of your appointment (or even after your appointment), scan the QR code to complete the Lifesaver Program sign-in form and let them know the UCLA Naval Science department sent you!
