OneBlood

What OneBlood does

OneBlood is a Florida-based, non-profit blood center founded in 2012 that collects, processes, tests, and distributes blood and blood components to more than 200 hospital partners across the state. Its core operational platform is a hybrid network of 90 fixed donor centers and a mobile Big Red Bus collection fleet that reaches schools, businesses, religious institutions, and community events, including a dedicated platelet mobile unit. The product portfolio spans Whole Blood, Platelet, Double Red Cell, and Plasma Apheresis donations, plus specialized services such as Autologous, Directed, and Therapeutic Phlebotomy donations, with rare-antigen and sickle cell match support delivered through community partnerships.

The company monetizes through recurring service agreements with hospitals and healthcare facilities that receive tested blood components for transfusions, surgeries, and chronic disease management. Donors receive the collection service free of charge; engagement is driven through the OneBlood Donor Portal (appointment scheduling, donation history, iron-count health summaries, digital rewards), the "I am OneBlood" storytelling movement, and promotional incentives such as eGift cards and partner perks. Leadership is centered on founder/CEO George Scholl, with Lance Reed as combined COO/CIO, Martin Grable as CFO, Rita Reik as CMO, and John Murphy as EVP. The organization is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors and operates as an independent non-profit serving the Southeast U.S.
