Simone Development Companies recently joined executives and staff of the New York Blood Center (NYBC) in celebrating the grand opening of the new 4,000-square-foot Bronx Donor Center at the Throggs Neck Shopping Center at 815 Hutchinson River Pkwy. in the Throggs Neck/Ferry Point community. Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson, local officials and healthcare leaders joined NYBC and Simone Development for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The new center is NYBC’s 21st donor center in the Tri-State area and its first in the Bronx, establishing a permanent NYBC presence in all five boroughs of New York City. The opening comes as blood donations in the Bronx have declined by nearly 40% in recent years, while local hospital demand continues to outpace community donations.
“We are thrilled that New York Blood Center selected Simone Development’s Throggs Neck Shopping Center for its Bronx donor center, adding a critical service to the surrounding communities and the renowned healthcare institutions nearby,” said Joe Simone, president of Simone Development.
