The Kentucky Blood Center turned 55 Sunday. The KBC opened in the basement of the Pancake House restaurant on South Limestone Street on May 21st, 1968. Eric Lindsey is the blood center’s director of media and branding. He said it was founded by the Kentucky Medical Society to centralize the blood supply in central Kentucky.
“You know, we went from this, you know, operating out of a Pancake House on South Limestone, and now having eight donor centers spread across six cities, serving more than 70 hospitals and doing more than 2000 Mobile drives a year.”
