Your voice matters in shaping the future of blood policy. 🩸

ABC members: The 2026 Advocacy Agenda development is underway, and we need YOUR input. Our annual survey helps us identify the federal legislative and regulatory priorities that matter most to blood centers across the country.

What gets prioritized?
✓ Issues with clear federal solutions
✓ Direct impacts on blood center operations and sustainability
✓ Challenges requiring national-level advocacy

In 2025, we've already seen major wins: elimination of the FDA final rule on Lab Developed Tests, draft guidance on Hepatitis B Surface Antigen testing, and new congressional bills to modernize licensure and expand blood availability.

Let's keep the momentum going. Complete the survey by December 5th and help ensure community blood centers have a strong voice in Washington: https://bit.ly/4oVtVZE

Big news for central !

Emergency care is getting a major upgrade thanks to a groundbreaking initiative involving ABC member, LifeServe Blood Center. They're making it possible for ambulances to carry blood products directly to emergency scenes, saving crucial minutes – and lives – in treating severe trauma.

This innovative approach could be a game-changer for the community, showcasing how blood donation directly impacts emergency care. We're incredibly proud of LifeServe's role in this life-saving program and the role of community blood centers nationwide in expanding prehospital blood programs: https://bit.ly/484TzUk
