 Your Blood. Your Hospital. Your Neighbors. 

Looking for work that feels like it matters?  At LifeServe Blood Center, you can take the skills you already have and put them toward something bigger. As a part-time Product Management Technician / Driver in Aberdeen, you’ll help make sure lifesaving blood products get where they need to go, when they’re needed most.
