About Us

swoosh background

For more than 70 years, Central California Blood Center (CCBC) has been dedicated to meeting the Valley’s blood needs. Founded in 1954 as a community-based, not-for-profit organization, we were created to keep blood products close to home for local patients.

We partner with community members to recruit volunteer donors and maintain a strong, reliable blood supply — ensuring 20 hospitals serving 1.9 million people across the Central Valley have the lifesaving products they need. Each month, we collect 5,000–6,000 pints of blood, made possible entirely by our generous volunteer donors. From advancing safety technology to delivering blood directly to trauma patients, our impact is felt every day in hospitals throughout the region.

CCBC is governed by the Fresno Madera Medical Society, which founded the blood bank in 1954. A majority of our Board members are FMMS physicians, providing trusted medical and scientific oversight.

We are proud to be a local, independent organization deeply rooted in our community—while making a lifesaving impact that extends beyond it.

Our Mission

We are committed to saving lives by providing a safe and reliable blood supply to five counties we serve (Fresno, Madera, Mariposa, Kings and Tulare).

Our Vision

To become Central Valley’s trusted healthcare partner by expanding access, engaging donors, and transforming lives through innovation in blood and cellular therapy.
