Bloodmobile at St. Peter

 The American Red Cross is experiencing an Emergency Blood Shortage as the nation faces the lowest number of people
giving blood in 20 years. The Red Cross blood supply has fallen to critically low levels across the country, and blood donors are urged to make an appointment and help alleviate the shortage to ensure lifesaving medical procedures are not put on hold.
 
Over the last 20 years, the number of people donating blood to the Red Cross has fallen by about 40%. Blood products are currently going to hospitals faster than blood donations are coming in, and in recent weeks, the Red Cross has had to limit distributions of type O blood products – among the most transfused blood types – to hospitals. You can give up to 6 times a year. Get started by scheduling your first donation appointment of 2024 now!
