Like blood banks all over the United States, Bloodworks Northwest responded to the Orlando crisis by sharing their stock.
Although our local blood supply has been very tight in recent weeks, when the appeal for blood came from Orlando we responded immediately, sending more than 70 units of blood components.
That tragedy demonstrates to the community Bloodworks Northwest’s need for blood donors every day to maintain a strong blood supply to meet the needs of patients having surgery, organ transplants, receiving cancer treatment, or therapies for blood disorders and to be able to respond when a tragedy does occur.
- O- and B- still at EMERGENCY levels, less than a one day supply
- O+ and A- at CRITICAL Levels, less than a two day supply
- A+ and AB Plasma at ALERT Levels, less than a three day supply
We are asking donors to make an appointment to donate -- to help us rebuild our inventories, so we can always meet the needs of local patients. Will you please donate blood at one of these local events?
