Community Blood Center of the Ozarks is the exclusive provider of blood, plasma, and platelets to patients at 44 area Ozark hospitals in southwest Missouri, northwest Arkansas, and southeast Kansas, including Freeman Hospital and Mercy Joplin. More than 50,000 donations of blood are required each year to meet the local transfusion needs of our friends and neighbors. When you give blood, you are literally helping hospitals save the life of someone’s spouse, parent or child. There is no easier way to save a life than to give blood.

Local donors help local patients. That's the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks difference.
