St. John’s Mercy Blood Donor Services is the only mobile, hospital-based, blood collection center in the state of Missouri. Being mobile means bringing services to people’s place of business, worship or school. The service allows the hospital to collect life-saving blood supplies from the community for the community at a portion of the cost.
