ABC Letter to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy

By America's Blood Centers

This letter from America’s Blood Centers (ABC) to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. addresses critical concerns about maintaining the nation’s blood supply following an HHS reorganization. It requests a designated HHS point person for blood-related issues, emphasizes the need for continued government representation in disaster response, and calls for the release of the National Blood Collection and Utilization Survey data. Throughout the letter, ABC underscores the importance of collaboration between their organization and HHS to ensure a safe and available blood supply for all Americans.
