Despite their best efforts, UW Medicine has not yet been able to reach fair and sustainable agreements with Aetna that ensure continued access to care and are in the best interests of patients. Effective June 1, 2025, UW Medicine’s contracts with Aetna for Medicare Advantage and Commercial services have expired and we are now out of network with Aetna. Learn more about what this means for you and what you should do next.

Donate Blood, Save Life

Donating blood is essential to sustaining community healthcare, especially during emergencies. This one-hour donation appointment supports local hospitals and patients and contributes to a critical shortage in the community.

Prior to giving blood, please hydrate well and eat a meal or snack prior, and don't forget your photo ID. No walk-ins, guests, or people under age 16 are permitted onsite. Visit the link below to make an appointment or call 1.800.398.7888.

Our next blood drive is on Thursday, April 3, 2025 from 11 AM to 5 PM and will be held in the Bloodworks Northwest mobile van, which will be parked in the four parallel parking spots on the west end of the Medical Arts Center building.
