Local American Red Cross Announces Emergency Blood Appeal: Blood and Platelet Donations Needed Now!
"We are nearing a potential crisis for patients at the more than 50 hospitals we serve, including several level one trauma centers" stated Gary J. Ouellette, CEO. "Low donor turnout around the holidays, as well as winter breaks at local high schools and colleges has lead to this drop in blood collections. As a direct result, blood inventories have continued to drop as patients’ needs increase. Without your help, patients are at risk for not receiving the transfusions they need."
