Our Blood Institute is the sixth-largest independent blood center in the nation, with 17 donor centers in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. OBI is the nonprofit blood provider for patients at more than 240 hospitals, medical facilities, and air ambulances across all three states.
We have long been a proud example of The Oklahoma Standard in action. While we were founded in Oklahoma City more than 50 years ago and our headquarters remain here, our reach has extended to all corners of Oklahoma and parts of Arkansas and Texas over time.
With that expansion came the need for a new name: Our Blood Institute. This evolution allows us to join together all parts of our organization, creating an identity that truly embraces our mission. No matter the location, we strive to be the donor-to-patient lifeline, providing our communities and medical partners security by meeting transfusion and healthcare needs.
