Together, We Save Lives

Rhode Island Blood Center (RIBC) was founded in 1979 as a nonprofit community blood center. For over 40 years, we have been the primary supplier of blood and blood products to patients being cared for in hospitals throughout Rhode Island and the New England area. RIBC serves as a vital community lifeline dedicated to helping patients and advancing global public health.

Advancing Health Today, Transforming Tomorrow

RIBC is proud to be part of New York Blood Center Enterprises (NYBCe). At NYBCe, every philanthropic gift helps advance our lifesaving mission. Your support enables us to provide lifesaving blood products, conduct groundbreaking research, and deliver cellular therapies, specialty pharmacy services, and medical services. Your financial gift today makes this work possible.

Since 1964, NYBCe has been at the forefront of blood and stem cell services, providing high-quality blood and stem cell products to patients in need – including trauma victims, cancer patients, newborns, those with chronic conditions, and many more. We support hospitals and patients nationwide through our lifesaving network of divisions.
