todayNovember 10, 2022

The American Red Cross in Wisconsin is urging blood and platelet donors to give now to help fight the potential impact of seasonal illnesses including a potentially severe flu season on the blood supply.   Red Cross spokeswoman Laura McGuire says when seasonal illnesses increase the number of healthy donors tends to decrease, leaving the Red Cross blood supply vulnerable.  Donors, especially those with type O blood and those giving platelets can help bolster the blood supply now by making an appointment to give in the coming weeks.
