Blood banks nationwide and in Arkansas are encouraging people to make a blood donation this time of year – and possibly save a life. Blood donations are used in cancer treatments, for people who have been involved in vehicle crashes and people undergoing surgery. Erin Goff with Our Blood Institute says they typically see a decrease in donations during the holidays.
Seasonal illnesses, school breaks, and severe weather also contribute to decreases in donations. O-Negative is the universal blood type and can be used for anyone, but she adds during the holidays everyone who can donate should – to help keep hospital shelves stocked. To find a blood drive near you go to O-B-I-dot-org.
