“The NBE gives us access to the nationwide blood supply. This helps our hospital coordinate products during times of increased usage and local shortages that can be caused by weather, flu or local disasters. The NBE online centralized billing system provides one statement for the month detailing all transactions.”

“We’ve always used NBE as a vehicle to distribute our excess units and they are a great partner. This time we needed them to help us import some units, and they did a great job helping us find blood quickly and at a price we could work with.”
