Support from members of the news
media is vital to our mission. The media is encouraged to check this
site often for the latest news releases, publications and other
tools to tell
KBC’s story and improve the number of volunteer blood
donors in our community.
With nearly
70
healthcare partners KBC must collect approximately
400 pints of blood per day to ensure that blood is available at all
times.
Because of the
generous
blood donors in 62 Kentucky counties, KBC is able to
provide the safest possible blood products to patients in need.
