Posted on by Carolyn Bahm

Lifeblood-logoBecause of recent patient needs, Lifeblood is in a critical shortage of O-negative and B-negative blood types, according to the company’s website. Donors are encouraged to visit a center or go to a local blood drive as soon as possible.

Also be aware that every blood type is important when it comes to maintaining a stable blood supply. Patients in local hospitals count on Lifeblood’s volunteer donors.
