LifeShare Blood Center is issuing an emergency appeal for blood donations after several weeks of operation with a low supply.
According to LifeShare, patient care in the region is being severely threatened by the inadequate blood supply that the region has been experiencing.
“Unfortunately, for many people, it is a problem you don’t realize exists unless you have a friend or family member in the hospital whose treatment is delayed or postponed because blood is not available,” LifeShare Regional Director Hollie Boudreaux said.
LifeShare is currently unable to fill hospital orders and is rationing blood according to a provided statement.
