2011 Report to the Community

“I would never have imagined that I would need 14 pints of blood; 14 gifts from perfect strangers. Thanks to selfless blood donors, I have a second chance at life.”

02

Reason for BeingBlood sustains precious human life. Its presence and flow allows us to seek the purpose of our existence and attain life’s milestones. When we share blood, wounds heal; individuals thrive; and families remain whole. We share blood to enrich our life experience, casting aside our differences to link the human race through a common, natural bond.

Our VisionWhen TBC is successful our community benefits in the following ways: • Lives are saved. • The human experience is enriched and life’s milestones are met. • Sense of community well-being is heightened. • Relationships are given a chance to grow and mature. • The human race is linked by a common, natural bond.

We Naturally Connect Lives

Thank you for making 2011 another successful year for The Blood Connection and our community. As we celebrate the health of our community, we honor each and every one of our stakeholders who stand ready to make a difference when others need our help. Because of your support, The Blood Connection is able to make vital connections that save lives.

As we reflect on the past year, we are particularly proud of our new state-of-the-art blood donation center in Greenwood. We’ve designed our donation center with donor comfort in mind, and we hope, because of it, the donating experience is more enjoyable.

We also began collecting blood in neighboring Spartanburg, Union, and Cherokee Counties. To better serve these areas, we purchased and refurbished two blood mobiles and broke ground for a new donation center at North Grove Medical Park in Spartanburg. We’re also thrilled to report that we now provide blood products to four more area hospitals.

As we grow, we know that The Blood Connection can only succeed in its mission through a partnership with the community. While we all work diligently to be effective stewards of the blood supply, we never lose sight of the fact that it is the individual donor who is truly the giver of life.

Sincerely,

Gregory Hart, President and CEO

New Greenwood Donation Center Designed with the Donor in Mind

On March 21, The Blood Connection proudly opened the second of its newly redesigned donation centers. This one, located at 341 Old Abbeville Highway, is easy to find and more readily accessible to the donors of Greenwood and the surrounding communities.

The facility is inviting, state-of-the-art, and modern. And, like the Greenville Donation Center, it embraces a nature-inspired theme that creates a welcoming and comforting environment. An abundance of natural light, calming colors, and views of a landscaped garden creates a relaxing setting.

The center’s thoughtful environment and warm, friendly staff ensure the ultimate donation experience.

Redesigned Blood Vessels Ensuring the Ultimate Donor Experience

In 2011, The Blood Connection completed the refurbishing of its blood mobile fleet. Now, a total of nine blood vessels have been completely updated and redesigned. The outside continues to utilize the signature red and white colors that donors have come to recognize as TBC moves around the community. Inside, donors enjoy flat panel TVs and headphones at every bed. And, beds are positioned for privacy. Cool, pleasant blue tones are used to provide a soothing look and feel for donors from the moment they come aboard. The buses were also formatted for automated blood collection technology.

Marketing Blood Drives Powerful Partnerships Save Lives

In 2011, The Blood Connection continued successful partnerships with families who honored fallen heroes and loved ones, and with companies that took blood donation to new levels of awareness and action.

TBC honored Captain Kimberly Hampton, the young American hero from Easley who died in Iraq: and saluted Trooper Eric Nicholson who was shot and killed in the line of duty and who had just donated blood a few hours before he was killed.

Powerful partnerships with the Greenville Drive (“Donor Champions” campaign), Entercom Radio (Rock-n-Roll Up Your Sleeve”) and Bruster’s (“Pint for a Pint”) continued to inspire loyal donors and first-time donors.

The Blood Connection is grateful for the life stories and committed corporations that motivate the community to selfless action time and time again.

2011 Highlights

Donor Retention Programs Building Donors for Life

Finding and retaining new donors is critical to ensure an ongoing, strong blood supply. The Blood Connection offers a rewards program to younger first time donors, not only as a thank you, but as a way to instill the important habit of blood donation and giving back to one’s community.

The program encourages donors to give a second and third time within a year from their initial donation to qualify for a music card and a Starbucks gift card.

In 2011, 35% of these young first time donors gave a second time, and 70% of those donated a third time.

In April, The Blood Connection extended this rewards program to all first time donors and the results are trending consistently with the initial program. All of these donors are building the life-long habit of giving back to their community.

Biologics Processing Center

Immunohematology Reference Laboratory (IRL)

The Blood Connection has an outstanding legacy of community service that started in 1962 with the recruitment of volunteer blood donors for hospitals. It continues today as a state of the art biologics manufacturer that collects, processes, and distributes biologic products and services for local and regional hospitals. Centralization of donor recruitment, blood collection, and inventory management reduces waste, prevents delayed surgeries, and provides local hospitals with efficiencies and cost reductions that are unparalleled in the industry.

In 2011, The Blood Connection began offering Reference Laboratory services. The lab provides testing and consultation to assist hospitals in solving patients’ red blood cell serological problems. The IRL provides rare (antigen matched) blood by maintaining liquid and frozen rare blood inventories. It is under the direction of Dr. Robert Rainer and managed by Charles Pace, MT (ASCP), SBB.

Looking ForwardAs The Blood Connection celebrates another year in your community, we renew our pledge to help you make vital connections that save lives. We thank you for each time that you help save a life, and promise to continually seek ways to improve service to our hospital partners. We are proud to be a cornerstone in your community with a mission to serve whenever the need for blood arises.

In the Spartanburg area, we are eager to present a beautiful new blood donation center at 270 North Grove Medical Park, designed specifically with donor comfort in mind. On our blood mobiles, we are introducing an automated blood collection technology to help us tailor your blood donations to local needs. We’ll also be adding another blood mobile to our fleet to make it easier for you to donate.

The Blood Connection, with a legacy of service, continues to expand into neighboring communities and shine a light on the need for blood. We now provide services to St. Luke’s Hospital, Margaret R. Pardee Memorial Hospital, and Park Ridge Health in Western North Carolina. And, importantly, after local needs have been met, The Blood Connection provides much needed services beyond our horizon to other hospitals and blood centers.
