Who is the Community Blood Bank?
The Community Blood Bank, founded by the Lancaster County Medical Society
(CBB) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. It's mission is to collect,
test, and distribute quality blood products to hospitals and regional
medical centers in southeast Nebraska and to others in need.
As a proud member of America's
Blood Centers—a network of 600 community-based blood centers in
45 states—CBB distributes a portion of the blood supplied to more
than half of the nation's 6,000 hospitals. In fact, through this affiliation
with America's Blood Centers, CBB has helped respond to some of our nation's
urgent calls for blood—the Oklahoma City bombings, the Columbine shootings,
and the attacks on the World Trade Center.
CBB is licensed by the FDA and accredited by the AABB (formerly the American
Association of Blood Banks). The CBB laboratory also holds national accreditation
through the Health Care Financing Administration.
