About the Company

Vitalant

Nonprofit blood supply, lab services, research

Vitalant collects, tests, processes, and distributes blood and biotherapies to hospitals across the United States, organizing blood drives and offering transfusion medicine expertise and research support. Donors' blood is tested for safety, separated into components, stored, and shipped as needed, with additional services like apheresis collection and specialized laboratory work. It stands out from competitors by operating a nationwide nonprofit network focused on donor recruitment, safety, community involvement, and research, rather than operating as a for-profit or regional-only service. Its goal is to provide a safe, sufficient blood supply for patients and to advance transfusion medicine through collaboration with healthcare partners and volunteers.
