Lifeline Blood Services In Urgent Need This Week

Lifeline Blood Services is in urgent need for several blood types and there are several blood drives in our area this week.
 
Lifeline Public Relations Director Cherie Hale said, “Patients in our area hospitals have been using  large amounts of B positive and A negative, in particular this week. Please, please make sure everyone knows the vital need for summer blood donations of all types, and, now this urgent need for these types. Also in short supply are the other negative blood types, B negative, and O negative. One blood donation can save up to three lives and our community is depending on volunteer blood donors.”
