Blood donations are important year-round, and January, which is National Blood Donor Month, presents a unique challenge because of the most recent winter storm. The foul weather caused a drop in donor turnout, putting the blood supply at risk. Joshua Gwin with Our Blood Institute in Arkansas says the nonprofit has five donor centers and provides blood products for patients in more than 40 medical facilities throughout Arkansas. He adds it’s been more than a year since their last emergency blood appeal, but things have changed drastically so he stresses their need for more donors.
Gwin encourages Arkansas, residents, to give blood through the institute’s donation centers throughout the state or by scheduling an appointment online at OBI.ORG/Emergency. He adds that Arkansans may donate blood every 60 days, up to five times annually.
