Most blood centers don’t have enough blood on the shelves to handle mass disasters, leaving the public especially vulnerable in the aftermath of an emergency. Our participation in BERC, and by extension you, are how we fix that avoidable danger. When we are on call, we must be ready to ship O+ and O- blood to the scene of any mass-transfusion event anywhere in the country. Help ensure we’re ready for anything by scheduling a blood donation appointment https://ow.ly/WZxH50SFtSv #BloodworksNW #BERC #DonateBlood #TypeO

Did you know, there is a demand and supply gap of 2.5 donations per 1,000 eligible persons which is around one million units less than it should be [1]. A steady supply of blood is essential to prevent any tragic outcome for patients who are in constant or critical need of it. This steady supply can only be maintained if we donate blood regularly. This World Blood Donor Day, your donation can create a ripple of life-saving impact. #Roche | #ValueOfDiagnostics | #WorldBloodDonorDay | #BloodDonation | #BloodSafety | #IPledgeRED Source 1: https://lnkd.in/gkSwRWPZ.

Did You Know??? CBCO annually supplies their 45 area hospitals with over 60,000 units of blood It takes an average of 200 donations each operating day to meet local patient needs Whole blood donors can give every 56 days (6 x yr) but CBCO’s average donor gives less than twice a year Almost 40% of the population is eligible to give blood but only about 3% actually donate Losing high school/college drives in the summer can lead to critical shortages which is why we rely heavily on community/event blood drives. The community needs not only First Responders help but also your help with your donation of blood. Please click the following link https://lnkd.in/g2jzuCqv to schedule your donation. ozarkfire.org
