LifeSouth Communty Blood Centers

Florida Advisory Councils

LifeSouth was initially founded in Gainesville, Florida, and LifeSouth remained a Florida blood center until we first opened in Alabama in 1995. Florida remains a home and provides a strong foundation for our blood center’s operations with well-established donor groups and a long history with the businesses and other organizations in our communities here. During the 2006 fiscal year we collected more than 74,600 blood and 10,100 apheresis donations that helped save the lives of patients in the 35 hospitals we supply in Florida. Florida's advisory council listing is also available in our
annual report.
