About Arkansas Blood Institute
Arkansas Blood Institute provides every drop of blood needed by patients in 17 hospitals in western Arkansas thanks to its volunteer donors.
Since 1958, those needing blood in the area have counted on mobile blood drives and donor centers in Fort Smith and Hot Springs and to ensure there is an adequate blood supply. In October 2010, it became an affiliate of Oklahoma Blood Institute after previously partnering with United Blood Services.
Oklahoma Blood Institute is the ninthlargest, independent nonprofit blood center in the nation. Arkansas Blood Institute was formed at this time to reflect the local commitment to providing for people in the region.
