Red Cross Donor Request
Sunday, March 26th, 2017 -- 8:43 AM
The American Red Cross is issuing a call for platelet and type O negative and AB blood donors to make an appointment to give after severe winter weather in some parts of the country caused about 250 Red Cross blood drives to cancel in March, resulting in more than 8,500 uncollected blood and platelet donations.Platelets, type O negative blood and type AB plasma are three of the most in-demand blood products by hospitals and often first to run out during a shortage. Those who give can help patients locally or across the country as the Red Cross has the ability to move blood products where and when they are needed most.
