In September, the American Red Cross stressed the continuing critical need for blood products to ensure patient care. Donors of all blood types are asked to give now to keep blood supply levels rising after a summer shortage. Type O blood donors and those giving platelets are especially needed.
A steady increase in lifesaving blood products ensures hospitals stay ready for any situation this fall. As National Preparedness Month continues, the Red Cross highlights the importance of having a solid supply of blood products already on hand for disasters and emergencies of all kinds and to meet the needs of patients every day.
Now is the time to book an appointment and help patients count on lifesaving transfusions. To schedule a time to give blood or platelets, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS, or use the Red Cross Blood Donor App. All who come to give Sept. 16-30 will get a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of choice.
Upcoming blood donation opportunities in Marshall County include September 19th at the Knights of Columbus at 901 East Jefferson Street in Plymouth from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., September 25th at the Triton High School, 300 Triton Drive in Bourbon from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and September 26th in Culver at the High School, 701 School Street, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
