Red Cross Blood Drive In Hutsonville Today

(Undated) — The American Red Cross continues to face one of its worst blood shortages in decades. They say blood and platelet donations for all blood types are needed. While just 7% of the U.S. population has Type-O Negative blood, it can be transfused to patients with any blood type and is what hospital staff reaches for during emergencies when there isn’t time to determine a patient’s blood type.
