In the
Beginning…A career transfusion
In the mid 1950’s, George J. King was very active in
civic affairs and was asked to serve on the local Hemophilia
Foundation board in Rochester, New York. He eventually was
appointed president of the National Hemophilia Foundation.
Through this work he learned of the need for coagulation factor
deficient plasmas to aid in the diagnosis of patients with
bleeding disorders. He quit his nine-to-five corporate career in
1973 and opened George King Bio-Medical, Inc. in Salem, New
Hampshire. The Company moved to Overland Park, Kansas in 1978. It has
evolved into an internationally renowned supplier of clinical
hemostasis products.
