Your Donation. Your Community. Your Blood Center.

What does it mean to be an exclusive blood supplier?

Miller-Keystone Blood Center was established in 1971 as an not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) community organization.  Our history of compliance with FDA requirements, combined with our ISO9001:2008 certification, demonstrates our commitment to quality and service excellence.  For more than 40 years, we have delivered the safe, reliable blood supply that your families, neighbors and community need.

MKBC is the only blood provider to hospitals in ten (10) Pennsylvania and New Jersey counties, including the Blue Mountain Health System (Lehighton and Palmerton), Brandywine Hospital, Easton Hospital, Grand View Hospital, Greater Hazleton Health Alliance, Hackettstown Regional Medical Center, Lehigh Valley Health Network (Allentown and Bethlehem), Phoenixville Hospital, Pottstown Memorial Medical Center, The Reading Hospital and Medical Center, Sacred Heart Hospital, St. Joseph Medical Center, St. Luke’s Hospital & Health Network (Allentown, Bethlehem, Coaldale and Quakertown), Warren Hospital and Westfield Hospital. 

Blood donated through Miller-Keystone Blood Center ensures that the blood needs of our regional hospitals are met.  Only blood donated through MKBC is transfused at these hospitals, and these facilities do not obtain blood products from any other blood center organization.

Miller-Keystone Blood Center subscribes to a community-based blood banking philosophy. That means our donors know that the blood they give stays in their community first – helping our family members, neighbors and friends.
