Grifols is a global health-care company and a recognized leader in the development and production of plasma-derived medicines that are produced from donations of human plasma that treat chronically-ill patient populations. We are proud to operate 5 plasma donor centers in the Rio Grande Valley employing close to 200 people form the local community. These employees along with committed plasma donors are helping meet the needs of patients with rare and chronic conditions who rely on life-saving plasma medicines.  These centers are also leading Grifols efforts in giving back to the local community as seen by their on-going partnership and support of the Food Bank of Rio Grande Valley.
