Two of the leading, independent, not-for-profit blood centers in the Southeast, OneBlood, Inc., and Community Blood Center of the Carolinas, Inc. (CBCC), have merged effective April 15th. The news comes just four months after the boards of directors for both organizations announced that CBCC would become part of OneBlood.
The newly formed organization will distribute more than one million blood products annually, serve over 250 hospitals throughout Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama and employ more than 2,500 people.
