The Blood Connection, a nonprofit community blood center, broke ground on its new Anderson blood donation center, the organization announced Aug. 24.
The 4,000-square-foot facility will serve AnMed Health, which closed its blood donor center in 2018 and has been using TBC as its sole blood provider. It will house:
- 10 donor beds
- Offices for local staff
- Operational space to stage bloodmobiles for local blood drives
“TBC has been a part of the Anderson community for a long time thanks to loyal donors here and our friends at AnMed – it’s only fitting that we should finally put down roots here and continue to grow with and support Anderson,” said TBC President and CEO Delisa English.
TBC’s Anderson facility is expected to be complete and open by spring 2023.
The organization has donation centers in Asheville, Hendersonville and Raleigh, North Carolina; Greenville, North Charleston, Easley, Florence, Greenwood, Lexington, Myrtle Beach, Seneca and Spartanburg, South Carolina; and Savannah, Georgia.
