About

Founded in 1964, New York Blood Center (NYBC) is a nonprofit organization that is one of the largest independent, community-based blood centers in the world. NYBC, along with its operating divisions Community Blood Center of Kansas City, Missouri (CBC), Innovative Blood Resources (IBR), Blood Bank of Delmarva (BBD), and Rhode Island Blood Center (RIBC), collect approximately 4,000 units of blood products each day and serve local communities of more than 75 million people in the Tri-State area (NY, NJ, CT), Mid Atlantic area (PA, DE, MD, VA), Missouri and Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Southern New England. NYBC and its operating divisions also provide a wide array of transfusion-related medical services to over 500 hospitals nationally, including Comprehensive Cell Solutions, the National Center for Blood Group Genomics, the National Cord Blood Program, and the Lindsley F. Kimball Research Institute, which — among other milestones — developed a practical screening method for hepatitis B as well as a safe, effective and affordable vaccine, and a patented solvent detergent plasma process innovating blood-purification technology worldwide.

Just sayin...
We need platelets, pretty please. Especially on Mondays and Tuesdays. Need to schedule your next appointment? Kick off your week with a good deed - donate platelets just like Edgar!
We're here, and we're still fighting for those in need! Help us help blood recipients. They need us, and we need you! Thank you to our blood collection teams who are working hard to help donors give their lifesaving gifts, and for making sure patients in need receive much needed blood products!

This might be the coolest #TattooTuesday we've ever had. Meet Giulia P. - blood donor, and owner of one epic tattoo. Giulia is O-, and although she hates needles, she got this tattoo as a reminder of just how important it is for her to give blood. O- is the universal donor, and ALWAYS needed. Shout out to Giulia P., and all of our dedicated donors who continue to serve the community by giving blood!
At a time when there's so many things we can't control, there is something that we can: hope. Being a blood donor means giving hope to those in need; hope that will help patients push through their treatments, hope that will bring families and communities together, and hope that will change lives. You are essential - you can save lives. Give hope - donate blood today: smarturl.it/NYBC_GiveHope
75% of our incoming blood supply has been sacrificed due to the closing of schools and colleges. The challenges associated with virtual vs. in person learning have led to difficulties in creating donation opportunities for our newest and youngest donors: high school students. These students are not only missing out on many high school memories, but on the opportunity to do something that not only helps others, but reminds them that they are part of something bigger. The number of first time donors at our blood drives has decreased significantly, and we need your help to get our communities, especially students, into our donor centers or at one of our community blood drives. Find a location, call a couple of friends, cousins, nieces and nephews, sports teams, whoever you can find, and go donate! Search by zip code for a donation location here: smartur.it/NYBC_ZipSearchFB

Got ink? Give blood! Having tattoos does not permanently defer you from being able to donate.
