Bonfils Blood Center
MISSION: In partnership with our community, Bonfils Blood Center saves and enhances lives.
VISION: We advance healthcare to a higher level of excellence.
Accommodating the blood needs of the Rocky Mountain region was not easy in the early 1940's.  The blood banks nearest to Denver were located in Dallas, Texas and Kansas City, Missouri.  Fortunately, Dr. Osgoode Philpott and philanthropist Helen G. Bonfils recognized the need to establish a blood bank in Colorado.  Pulling together a diverse group of community-minded people, they founded Denver's first community blood bank.
