America's Blood Centers

America’s Blood Centers (ABC) is a North American-based network of community blood centers that collectively operate more than 600 fixed-site donor centers and supply more than 3,500 hospitals and medical facilities with the gift of blood. ABC members subscribe to a community-based blood banking philosophy; donors know their gift stays in the community to help loved ones, friends, neighbors and colleagues. In times of local emergency or severe regional needs that strain supply, fellow ABC members collaborate to assist fellow members in need.
