2011-2012 TAC Schedule

To encourage the exchange of technical information between hospital transfusion services and the Blood Center, MVRBC hosts Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meetings at the Davenport headquarters and Ottumwa, St. Louis and Springfield regional offices several times each year. (See schedule of upcoming meetings, below.)

TAC meetings help the Blood Center respond to issues our service hospitals have in common, and allow hospital representatives to gain insight into the products and services the Blood Center offers. The Blood Center also provides regulatory and process change information to the hospital transfusion services at these meetings.

TAC meetings are open to all staff members from MVRBC service hospitals, and hospitals may send more than one representative to the meetings, if desired. Participants are invited to submit questions and topics for discussion in advance of each meeting.

To RSVP for an upcoming meeting, please contact our Client Service Coordinators (Davenport: Ronelle Burmeister, rburmeister@mvrbc.org / (800)747-5401 or Ottumwa: Judy Jackson, jjackson@mvrbc.org / (800) 452-1097 or St. Louis: Carrie Hantack, chantack@mvrbc.org / (800) 591-8049 or Springfield: Trish Casper tcasper@cicbc.org / (866) 448-3253.
