About Memorial Blood Centers, A Division of Innovative Blood Resources Who we are Memorial Blood Centers has been saving and sustaining lives for over 65 years. A Minnesota-based, independent nonprofit, we supply life-saving blood, state-of-the-art laboratory services, and biomedical expertise to area hospital and clinic partners, national blood centers, biotechnology companies, research institutions, and international clients from Australia to Switzerland. As a mission-driven organization committed to advancing the cause of blood donation and ensuring the health and well-being of all of our citizens, in 2012 Memorial Blood Centers formalized a decade-long partnership with Nebraska Community Blood Bank (NCBB) of Lincoln, NE to form a new blood services organization. Our two community-based non-profits now operate as divisions of the newly formed entity: Innovative Blood Resources. Both are 501(c)(3) not- for-profit, charitable organizations. Each is licensed by the FDA and accredited by AABB and CLIA. While we will continue doing business as (d/b/a) Memorial Blood Centers, all blood products collected by MBC and NCBB and shipped to our hospital partners will be labeled with the Innovative Blood Resources name.

We've got a15! great topic. We're talking today about blood donors and iron. It's a hot topic in blood bank world, and there's been a lot of discussions on it recently, both at the AABB and FDA level, and really internationally, in terms of the discussion about how to protect donors, in particular the most vulnerable donors, from being potentially damaged by iron deficiency as a result of blood donation. Joe: [00:00:58] My guest is Dr. Jed Gorlin. Jed is someone I have looked up to for a long time, not just because he's way taller than me, but just because he's a very highly respected and incredibly erudite spokesman for our industry. Jed is a great guy, and I think you'll really like this interview. I also want to thank you for listening to the previous interviews, especially episode 31, the most recent episode, where we talked about the magic of Twitter and how blood bankers should be on Twitter. Please check it out if you haven't had the chance. It's really a fun roundtable discussion with some experts on that platform.

    2012 annual report to the community Dear colleagues and supporters Every one of us has an important part to play in saving and sustaining lives in our community. And together, we have been able to make a real difference in the lives of people in need again this past year. Whether as a generous blood donor, blood drive sponsor, financial contributor, or volunteer, you have been with us every step of the way. You’ve made it possible for us to be there with life-saving blood for the vulnerable baby born prematurely and the new mom faced with life-threatening hemorrhaging during childbirth. Because you stepped up, we were there for the patient battling cancer and for those in a long-term battle against the immobilizing pain that comes from sickle cell disease. Thanks to you there are thousands of mothers and fathers, children and grandparents, co-workers and neighbors celebrating life and sharing stories of courage, hope, and survival. Indeed, the stories you’ll find within the pages of this annual report are just a few examples of the many lives you’ve helped. These stories clearly demonstrate the power of your generosity to make a difference. We are grateful you have chosen to generously invest in helping us support the health and well-being of the communities we serve. Thank you all – we’re doing this together.
