Red Cross: Blood supply facing stress, donors needed | June 7, 2023
June 7, 2023 – A concerning shortfall in blood donations last month could stress the American Red Cross blood supply.

The public can help ensure continuity for patients by making an appointment to give blood or platelets now and in the weeks ahead. June 14 is World Blood Donor Day, a day meant to raise awareness of the need for a safe, diverse and stable blood supply and to recognize volunteer blood donors.
