Blood supply low; Indiana center seeks donors
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A critical need exists for blood of all types, the Indiana Blood Center said Wednesday.
“As of Wednesday morning, Indiana Blood Center’s inventory of blood components was below a one-day supply,” said a news release issued by Andrea L. Fagan, director of public relations and marketing. “It has very few O negative units on the shelves currently and standing hospital orders have been cancelled temporarily.”
