Community Blood Center of the Ozarks recently shared of their critical need of Type O- blood.
Community Blood Center of the Ozarks shared the following on their Facebook page.
“Our Type O- blood supplies are critically low! If you have Type O- blood (or you don’t know your blood type), please donate today!
The time after the Memorial Day Weekend, as well as leading into summer, is a crucial time for blood supply. More people traveling means more accidents, which means there’s a higher demand for live-saving blood!
In emergency or traumatic situations, Type O- blood is used to stabilize patients until medical teams can confirm their blood type. Without Type O- blood, medical teams lose critical time to help save patients’ lives.
Call 417-227-5000 to schedule an appointment to donate. If you have questions, message us here! We’ll help point you in the right direction to make donating simple and easy.”
