The American Red Cross (ARC), established in 1881 by Clara Barton, is a humanitarian organization dedicated to providing emergency assistance, disaster relief, and education across the United States. As the U.S. affiliate of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, it plays a crucial role in disaster response and public safety. The ARC is the largest supplier of blood products in the country, collecting and processing around 40 percent of the nation's blood supply for distribution to approximately 2,600 hospitals and transfusion centers. The organization ensures the safety of the blood supply through rigorous testing and research, having been a pioneer in developing testing methods for various infectious diseases. Additionally, the ARC operates a nationwide hemovigilance program that monitors donor and patient reactions to improve blood product quality. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the American Red Cross also collaborates with key committees and regulatory bodies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, to enhance safety standards in blood services.
