Ohio EMS calls on Ohioans to donate blood due to critical shortage
COLUMBUS – The State Board of Emergency Medical, Fire, and Transportation Services is calling on Ohioans to consider donating blood due to a critical blood shortage in Ohio and nationwide. The current shortage has been exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, decreased blood donations, and an increased usage of blood and blood products to treat an increasing number of trauma cases.
The American Red Cross says donors of all blood types — especially type O — are needed to prevent further delays to patient care.
There are several upcoming blood drives in Marion County. The Marion Nazarene Church, 233 W. Church St., will host a drive from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. Friday. Another drive will take place 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Saturday and again from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. July 13 at The Alber Red Cross Center, 1849 Summerset Drive. VFW Post 3313, 961 N. Main St., will host a blood drive from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. on July 8.
Schedule an appointment to give blood by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.
Those who come to give through July 6 will receive a Red Cross embroidered hat by mail, while supplies last. And, donors who come to give July 7-31 will receive a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card by email, plus a chance to win gas for a year — a $5,000 value.
