Welcome Letter to HHS Secretary Becerra

By America's Blood Centers

America’s Blood Centers (ABC) welcomes you to the role of Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ABC looks forward to working with you to ensure broad awareness of the essential role of the blood supply in the health care system as well as the continuous need for blood donors to ensure a safe, diverse, and available blood supply.

ABC brings together community-based independent blood centers who collectively provide nearly 60 percent of the U.S. blood supply. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our members have also provided about 75 percent of all COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma.
