Severe Blood Shortage Triggers Need For Donors
The American Red Cross & Bloodworks NW have both announced that they are at “crisis-“level need for blood donations. Recent inclement weather caused donation appointments to get cancelled, and the Omicron variant surge has also hurt donation numbers.
Normally, these organization would respond to shortages by setting up donation pop-ups, but widespread staffing troubles have affected the industry, and they are forced to wait for donors to come to them.
