The Community Blood Center is an independent, nonprofit organization based in Appleton, Wisconsin. We have been providing blood to Wisconsin hospitals since 1955. The Community Blood Center is committed to providing the highest quality blood products and professional blood services at the lowest practical cost to the hospitals and patients we serve.
Our primary function is ensuring that hospitals receive the blood that they need. The Community Blood Center collects blood from donors, processes it in our laboratory, and prepares it for hospital patients. We currently provide 17 Wisconsin hospitals with a full range of blood components, including red blood cells, platelets and plasma.
The Community Blood Center operates neighborhood donor centers in Appleton, Oshkosh, Little Chute, Merrill and Arbor Vitae. Our blood drive program includes 5 self-contained blood drive units: 3 bloodmobiles and 2 indoor blood drive units. Last year, volunteer donors gave more than 50,000 blood donations with the Community Blood Center.
Our staff members seek to raise awareness about blood donation by offering informational presentations and classroom talks. As a donor center with the Be the Match Registry (sponsored by the National Marrow Donor Program) we also help facilitate bone marrow donations.
