Patient need is outpacing donations, and our local blood supply has hit emergency low levels. To keep up with hospital needs, Bloodworks has had to bring in blood from other parts of the country—a temporary and unsustainable solution, especially since shortages are happening nationwide.
Bloodworks needs a steady stream of donors over the next month, to ensure patients in Pacific Northwest hospitals have immediate access to lifesaving transfusions for cancer treatments, trauma care, and birth complications.
If you’re feeling healthy, please consider giving blood at one of the West Seattle blood drives in the link below:
