Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center

Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center (MVRBC) is the exclusive provider of blood products and services to more than 90 hospitals in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin. The Blood Center’s headquarters is in Davenport, Iowa, where MVRBC’s testing, processing and primary distribution center handles more than 240,000 units of blood components each year.MVRBC merged with Springfield, Ill. based Central Illinois Community Blood Center. Nearly a year later, Community Blood Services of Illinois, headquartered in Champaign-Urbana, Ill., also joined forces with MVRBC. These two mergers added dozens of employees and further strengthened what has become a regional blood alliance, providing inventory stability and increased cost savings for the organization and the hospitals and patients it serves.
