SOMERSET, Ky. – With the help of U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell and U.S. Congressman Hal Rogers, Kentucky Blood Center recently opened a new location in Somerset.

The new Somerset Donor Center is located off Hwy. 27 at traffic light 16A in Stonebrook Centre Subdivision. Congressman Rogers was on hand for the ribbon cutting in September. 

“We greatly appreciate Senator McConnell’s and Congressman Rogers’ help in obtaining funds for this building,” said KBC President and CEO Bill Reed. “Because of them, we now have a state-of-the-art blood center for the Somerset-Pulaski County region.”

The Somerset operation, which includes a staff of 35 who work either at the donor center or on blood drives, serves the following counties: Adair, Boyle, Casey, Clay, Cumberland, Garrard, Jackson, Knox, Laurel, Leslie, Lincoln, Madison, Marion, McCreary, Mercer, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Russell, Wayne and Whitley. KBC also has donor centers in Lexington and Pikeville.

Designed to blood banking specifications, the new donor center provides ample room for registration, screening and donating. Space is also allocated to back up the operations at the Lexington headquarters if necessary.

Operating hours are:

  • Monday & Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
