About Us

Who we are

Connecticut Blood Center (CTBC) supplies blood and blood products to patients being cared for in over a dozen Connecticut hospitals. CTBC operates a hospital services blood storage depot from our Connecticut center so we can quickly and reliably get urgent or unexpected orders to local hospitals.

CTBC is operated by the Rhode Island Blood Center, a part of the New York Blood Center Enterprises family with more than five decades of experience saving lives by ensuring a safe and plentiful blood supply to the patients and hospitals we serve. Donations made at CTBC are tested and processed at our sister blood center's state-of-the-art laboratory in Providence at Rhode Island Blood Center.
