What
is SCABB?
South Central Association of Blood Banks (SCABB) is a nonprofit organization
consisting of eight states assigned to three districts. The districts
include District I, Texas; District II, Arizona, Colorado,
New Mexico, Nevada, and Oklahoma; District III, Arkansas, Louisiana,
and Mississippi. Each district is represented by at least one district
director. There is one additional director at-large. The individual
members of the association are healthcare workers such as medical technologists,
nurses, physicians, administrators, donor recruiters, phlebotomists,
and industry representatives interested in the field of transfusion
medicine. The institutional members are hospitals, blood donor centers,
and blood testing centers. The corporate members are companies that
support SCABB and provide products and services for the individual and
institutional members of the organization.
The purposes of SCABB are:
- To promote, foster and
support the exchange of ideas and material and dissemination of
information related to blood banking, transfusion medicine, related
technical methodology, and administrative practices associated with
the above by education and open forums.
- To provide information
on current events related to blood banking to professional personnel
and, on important policy questions, to represent blood banks to
the general public through the region consisting of those states
defined by the Association's Bylaws.
- To assist and support
training of personnel in the field and provide mechanisms for individual
professional growth.
- To promote and foster
opportunities for interaction throughout the region, supporting
both exchange of ideas and camaraderie.
