Meet Lauren Meyer, Executive Director of Marketing Strategy and Planning at New York Blood Center Enterprises! Since joining in August 2022, Lauren has been a driving force behind our mission to engage and inspire first-time and young donors. Her strategic approach and creative thinking have led to impressive increases in red blood cell and platelet collections this year. Lauren embodies collaboration and empowerment, fostering a team culture where innovative ideas flourish. When she's not leading the charge in Donor Engagement, you can find her exploring new cities, hiking, or enjoying a Broadway show. A true lover of good food and wine, she believes in the importance of taking time for yourself to maintain balance and happiness. A proud B+ platelet donor, she actively contributes to our life-saving mission. We’re grateful to have her on our team, inspiring us all to make a difference in our communities! #TeamSpotlight #Leadership #EmployeeHighlight

We're excited for our next drive with Consigli Construction Co., Inc. ! While they’re hard at work building our new Rye Campus and Rye Donor Center, their commitment goes even further—partnering with us to save lives through blood donations. Together, we’re building a stronger, healthier community! #BloodDrive #CommunityPartners

"Since she [Phlebotomist Rosaland] was working on a Sunday, I half-jokingly asked, “What do you love about your job?” Her response offered a valuable life lesson. She explained, “I’ve always wanted to donate blood, but I can’t because I’m anemic. So, I asked myself, what’s the next best thing I can do? That’s when I realized I could help others donate blood.” Thank you, Datta K., for sharing this incredible exchange. Our phlebotomists (especially Rosland!) are truly the rock of our organization—they inspire us all!🌟 #TeamHighlight #Phlebotomist #DonorStories #SavingLives

Let's hear it for our incredible phlebotomist, Jacqueline Aquino! With kindness, humor, and a calming presence, Jackie guided Rutgers' student-athlete AND first-time donor, Chris, through the blood donation process at the recent Rutgers Blood Drive! Jackie shows how our caring phlebotomists make every donation a positive experience for our donors. 🌟 We're proud to partner with the Abbott , Rutgers University , and Big Ten Network to encourage lifesaving donations on campuses around America through the #GiveBlood initiative. Together, we're inspiring the next generation of donors and building a healthier community, one donation at a time. 💪❤️ #BloodDonation #RutgersUniversity #Big10Network #AbbottGlobal #CommunityImpact #NYBloodCenter

🎃 Happy Halloween from New York Blood Center! Last week, we proudly supported Project Achieve's “Halloween-O-Licious” event, which the Columbia Research Unit hosted. This unique, spooky-themed gathering brought together performers, volunteers, and community advocates for a night of entertainment with an important purpose—raising awareness about HIV prevention strategies like PrEP and promoting the importance of MPOX and COVID-19 vaccines. We thank everyone for their dedication in making this event a memorable success and for supporting the search for an HIV vaccine. #HIVResearch #HIVPrevention #ProjectAchieve #HappyHalloween

Last week, we hosted NYC Chairpersons and Volunteers Recognition Event to honor the dedicated blood drive chairpersons across New York City who tirelessly champion blood donation efforts each year and the volunteers who support our lifesaving efforts. Several New York City Council members and representatives from the Office of The Bronx Borough President were in attendance to show support for our volunteers and chairpersons. Rafael Gomez, Community Liaison, delivered a citation on behalf of Hon. Vanessa L. Gibson, MPA (She, Her, Hers, Ella) : "Donating blood is not just an act of kindness; it is a lifesaving gift that can make a profound difference in our community." Another special moment came when Julia Tang, a childhood survivor of Beta Thalassemia, shared her powerful testimony of receiving over 450 blood donations. These donations supported Julia's life long enough for her to receive a cure. Today, Julia is a blood donor and plans to run the NYC marathon this year. Five outstanding blood drive leaders were honored for going above and beyond in their efforts: 🏆 Lya Montrella ( New York Methodist Hospital ) 🏆 Nicholas Sbordone & Peter Campbell ( Battery Park City Authority ) 🏆 The Staten Island Ferry 🏆 Juanita Salvidar ( NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene ) 🏆 Scott Laubner ( Peter Cooper Village Stuyvesant Town ) To all our volunteers and chairpersons—thank you for being lifesavers! 🙌 #ThankYou #DonateBlood #NYBC #SaveLives #VolunteerPower #Lifesavers

Last month, we had the honor of congratulating St. Martin of Tours Church for collecting 5,000 pints of lifesaving blood! Thank you to Account Manager Melissa Gatto and Team Leader Bonnie Marion for working so closely with the Chairperson and ensuring the continued success of this drive.

Ever been asked what happens to blood after it's donated? From the donation itself, to the rigorous testing and processing, all the way to delivering lifesaving blood to hospitals, each step taken by our dedicated staff ensures the highest safety and quality standards.

Meet Antonio Cruz, one of our dedicated New York Blood Center drivers. Every day, Antonio navigates the busy streets of NYC, delivering more than just blood and supplies—he’s delivering hope and care to patients in need. "I used to drive for a commercial service, but this is different. What we deliver could be the difference between life and death for someone," said Cruz. That responsibility motivates him on a daily basis, especially when rushing blood to hospitals. "One time, I had to deliver blood to a hospital in Staten Island for a patient. The slip said they were in surgery, so I had to get there fast. GPS said an hour—Luckily, I made it in 52 minutes," Cruz recalls, his face lighting up at the memory. "When I got there, the staff were so relieved. It felt really good knowing I played a part in helping save that person's life." Whether he's rushing blood to a hospital or setting up for a blood drive, Antonio knows the impact his work has. "It feels really good knowing I played a part in helping save someone’s life." #TeamHighlight #StaffHighlight #NYBCe #HealthcareWorkers #MakingADifference #NYC
