OneBlood issues appeal for blood donations; all types needed
OneBlood, the not-for-profit blood center serving Florida, North Carolina and much of the southeastern United States is issuing an urgent appeal to the community for blood donations.
All blood types are needed. Additionally, there is an increased need for O negative and O positive blood and platelet donations.
“In an instant any one of us can find ourselves on the receiving end of a blood transfusion,” said Susan Forbes, senior vice president of corporate communications and public relations.
“Every day patients in local hospitals depend on blood donors to live.”
