Red Cross Blood Drive in Black River Falls Today
Wednesday, August 14th, 2013 -- 8:59 AM
-The American Red Cross has an urgent need for blood donors of all types, especially O negative, A negative and B negative, as fewer donations than expected were given in the first half of summer.Every day donations come up short, less potentially lifesaving blood is available for patients in need.
Type O negative blood is universal and can be transfused to anyone who needs blood. Types A negative and B negative can be transfused to both Rh positive or negative patients. Blood products can be used for cancer patients, trauma victims, organ transplant recipients, premature babies, sickle cell disease patients and more.
There is a blood drive happening today from 12pm-5:30pm at the Armory in Black River Falls.
Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
