(WWJ) -- Hospitals are facing a serious need for blood donations.
The American Red Cross is experiencing a severe blood shortage as the number of trauma cases, organ transplants and elective surgeries are on the rise.
Subsequently, the nation's blood inventory is becoming depleted.
Donors of all blood types – especially type O and those giving platelets – are urged to make an appointment to give as soon as possible to prevent delays to critical patient care.
“When seconds count in emergency trauma situations, it’s the blood already on the shelves that can make the difference in lifesaving care,” said Dr. Barry Siegfried, medical director of the Red Cross Michigan Region. “As many people begin to enjoy travel and time with loved ones again this summer, patients are relying on the generosity of donors to help ensure they have access to the treatment they need. Please consider blood donation as a summer activity that can help save lives.”
Those who give blood by the end of the month will receive a $5 Amazon gift card as a thank you for their efforts.
More information can be found at RedCrossBlood.org/Together, and see a full listing of donation sites around metro Detroit below.
