MEDIC in need of O-, O+ and A- blood

MEDIC has seen fewer donors during the holiday season while seeing a steady or increased usage of blood products.

MEDIC Regional Blood Center currently has a critical inventory of O Negative and O Positive blood. Eligible O Negative and O Positive donors are encouraged to donate as soon as possible.

It also has a low inventory of A Negative.

MEDIC has seen fewer donors during the holiday season while seeing a steady or increased usage of blood products. 

As a reminder, the blood on the shelves now is what would be used in a trauma event and it takes three days for donated blood to be processed and ready for distribution. 

All donors receive a $10 e-gift card to use at over 100 organizations. The cards are sent via email within 48 hours of donating. Donors also receive their choice of MEDIC shirt and a Texas Roadhouse coupon.
