October, 2006 - Rhode Island Blood Center has chosen Canton-based Incept Corporation to provide blood donor telerecruitment services to help meet their daily demand of over 280 units.

Over the last 27 years, the center has worked to meet the demand for blood within a three-state radius. Incept will target local community members that have not previously donated in order to help build a donor base for the center.

“Having previously managed Rhode Island’s lapsed and new donor recruiting programs, we are very excited to continue building on the foundation that supports such a great community,” Billie Johnson, Incept’s Vice President of Client Services, said. “We are thrilled when one of blood bank clients looks to us to help increase their donor base.”
