Blood Assurance of Chattanooga, the main blood supplier for local hospitals, is facing a severe donor shortage, jeopardizing its low supply. Recent flu-like illnesses have led to many canceled blood drives and missed appointments, worsening the situation for local healthcare providers. Blood Assurance needs at least 540 donations daily to meet hospital demands.
All donors through the end of the month will be entered to win a $500 e-gift card, and O-negative and AB-plasma donors will receive a $25 gift card. Your donation could save lives during this critical shortage. Visit the Blood Assurance website for more information on how and where to donate. Every donation counts—especially now.
