<p>By Mikelle D.Smith, Naval Medical Research Center Public Affairs.<br><br>"Since 1991, the Naval Medical Research Center’s (NMRC) Bone Marrow Research Directorate has played a critical role in supporting DoD bone marrow drives and identifying potential bone marrow donors. One little known method of collection, walk-in clinics, guarantees year-around donation capabilities outside of classic DoD bone marrow drives. There are 52 walk-in clinics throughout 25 states and four foreign countries. All walk-in clinics are managed by oncall volunteers and locations range from blood banks and hospitals, to clinics and military bases. These volunteers can answer questions and provide consent forms and mail-in kits to interested individuals."<br></p>
