  • Our 11 Laws of Life
    We built our brand around core philosophies that we believe encompass why our brand exists and the purpose we serve. Our 11 Laws of Life live at the center of our organization and guide us towards fulfilling our mission to give life to the community.

We have a responsibility to acknowledge that life and the care for that life, is larger than our personal wants and desires. At Carter BloodCare, we strive to keep the bigger picture in sight, which includes staying humble and understanding that it is the combination of a community of efforts and the drive of people that cultivates success.

Your body is a vehicle that can take you anywhere your heart desires, as long as that vehicle is taken care of. With our hands, we are able to build, and we are able to bless. With our head, we are able to create, and we are able to contribute. However, it’s with our heart that we are able to grow, and we have the ability to give. At Carter BloodCare, we know that when healthy people give blood, it gives others a chance at a healthy life.
