Did you know that there is a need for more than 41,000 blood donations every day? A donation of blood will help an ill or injured patient within a few days. The turn-around can be that fast.
Contec hosts the famous “Big Red Bus” on site at its global headquarters in Melbourne, Florida every three months. Over half of the employees and members of other local businesses have had the privilege of donating to date.
OneBlood's "Big Red Bus"
OneBlood is a non-profit organization responsible for providing safe, available and affordable blood to 213 hospital partners and their patients. It was established on January 27, 2012 when three of Florida’s independent, not-for-profit blood centers, Community Blood Centers of Florida, Inc. (CBCF), Florida’s Blood Centers, Inc. (FBC) and Florida Blood Services, Inc. (FBS) came together in a merger of equals.
Over the past few years, OneBlood has evolved into an innovation and collaboration center, expanding into the life-science industry. With the demand for blood ever increasing, OneBlood has been proactive and forward thinking by investing in the latest technologies to enhance their ability of research and development.
Along with blood donation centers, OneBlood will come to you. Over 200 of their Big Red Buses travel around the Florida area and beyond at various intervals and locations every day, partnering with organizations, corporations and schools.
The service area of OneBlood includes the Tampa Bay area, South and Southeast Florida, the Orlando-metro area and surrounding Central Florida counties, parts of Southwest Florida, Pensacola and Tallahassee, Southern Georgia and Alabama.
