Red Cross Blood Drive Scheduled for January 12th in Buena Vista Twp.

The Red Cross is experiencing the worst blood shortage in over a decade, and patient care is being affected right now. A dangerously low blood supply means we have had to reduce the amount of blood products hospitals receive by as much as 25% in recent weeks, forcing hospitals to defer patient surgeries, including organ transplants. Hospital demand remains strong, but fewer donors are coming in – perhaps because of the holiday season, vacation travel, or regular activities having resumed.

At the same time, the Red Cross is also dealing with relentless issues due to the pandemic, including ongoing blood drive cancellations and staffing limitations. Impending winter weather conditions may make things even worse. The situation is serious – your donation is more important than ever!

Appointments are highly recommended.
Call 1-800-REDCROSS OR sign up at www.redcrossblood.org and use sponsor code: Buena Vista
