Icy roads and hazardous travel conditions are leading to lost donations this week for our region's blood supply. We are asking all eligible donors who can safely travel to book a blood donation appointment to ensure our ability to meet patient needs for the hospitals we serve.
“Patient care never stops, and that means the use of blood remains constant even when we lose donations due to weather," said Amanda Hess, Vice President, Donor Relations and Marketing. “To help recoup those losses, we are asking all eligible donors to book an appointment to give blood as soon as possible.”
