The blood banking industry is truly one of the most unusual businesses in this country: the participants rely on a donated product which they collect, test, process, and then distribute.

Based out of New York, NY this tax-exempt, non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization collects donated blood, tests it, processes it by breaking it up into salable components (i.e platelets, plasma, etc), and the sells the various blood products to about 500 hospitals in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Rhode Island.
