About

Indiana Blood Center lives a daily mission to supply blood and blood components to Hoosier patients in need at more than 60 Indiana hospitals. We rely on volunteer donors who give selflessly throughout our 13 donation centers and extensive mobile donation operation.

 

Beyond collection, preparation, testing and distribution of blood components, Indiana Blood Center supports Indiana patients by performing specialized testing in our HLA/DNA and Immunohematology Reference Laboratories.  Our specialty labs enable us to supply the right blood to the right patient at the right time, even when rare components are required. We support organ transplants through specialized blood typing and perform relationship testing for paternity and immigration cases. Indiana Blood Center also participates in the National Marrow Donor Program, managing Indiana’s database and matching Hoosier bone marrow donors with recipients in need.

 

Our dedicated staff of more than 450 technicians, administrators and blood professionals performs not just a job, but a community service on a daily basis. At Indiana Blood Center we believe blood is life, and strive every day to serve as good stewards of this most precious of gifts.

 

Indiana Blood Center is a non-profit community service organization licensed by the FDA and the Indiana State Department of Health, and accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB). We are a member of America’s Blood Centers (ABC), an organization representing community blood centers nationwide.
