Proposed capital funding of $7 million brings new building construction one step closer to reality
Anchorage, Alaska—Blood Bank of Alaska is pleased to announce that $7 million in capital appropriations has been allocated in Governor Sean Parnell's FY2014 Budget for the construction of its new facility.
"The new Blood Bank of Alaska facility will serve patients in over 200 Alaska communities," Blood Bank of Alaska CEO Bob Scanlon said. "We thank Governor Parnell for his commitment to ensuring that Alaskans are served by a modern blood bank that will be a strong part of the state's emergency preparedness plan, and to help Alaska families in all corners of the state."
The new building will accommodate technological advances, consolidate space, and improve operating efficiencies while continuing to meet expanding healthcare needs for Alaska's future generations. The budget will be transmitted to the Alaska State Legislature for consideration during the 2013 Alaska legislative session.
