Holiday Blood Usage Puts
Community Blood Bank in 'Danger Zone'
Very heavy holiday weekend blood usage by local patients has caused the return of critically low levels. The current blood supply levels are very near the lowest of the entire year.
Type A is the lowest followed closely by type O blood. Donors of all types are urgently needed to help end it as local lives are literally at risk when the blood supply is this low.
There are 4 drives in Western New York this week that people can go to help save a life at: (No appointment needed at any of these drives) .
Today (Tuesday Sept. 6th) at Elk Regional Health Center in St Marys from 10a.m. to 4p.m.
Wednesday Sept 7 at the United Methodist Church in Sheffield from 1p.m. to 5:30p.m.
Saturday September 10th BRMC Outpatient Lab 24 Davis St, Union Square in
Bradford from 9a.m. to 1p.m.
GIVE BLOOD: SEE HOCKEY: Donors at all of these drives can enter to win a pair of tickets to see the Pittsburgh Penguins play the New Jersey Devils in Pittsburgh on October 22nd.
"What a tough weekend!" says Dan Desrochers Director of Marketing at the Community Blood Bank. "We really need a few very busy days here to get us out of the danger zone."
