List of blood donation agencies in the United States

Nearly every hospital in the United States has a blood bank and transfusion service. The following is a list of groups that collect blood for transfusion and not a complete list of blood banks.

National organizations
  • American Red Cross (ARC), specifically the biomedical services division. The ARC provides about 45% of transfused blood in the US.[1]
  • America's Blood Centers, a major network of non-profit community blood centers founded in 1962.[2] Most of the independent blood centers on this list are ABC members, and these account for approximately half of the US blood supply.[3]
    • Vitalant formerly United Blood Services, a member of ABC, also has a national presence, especially in the West.[4]
