As the Labor Day holiday weekend approaches, when fewer blood donors are typically available

As the Labor Day holiday weekend approaches, when fewer blood donors are typically available, Vitalant urges all eligible donors to schedule an appointment to donate blood. The emergency shortage is acute for type O, which is the most frequently transfused blood type. In recent days, O-positive blood has frequently fallen to just one-day’s supply. Appointments for all blood types are needed to achieve a sufficient four-day supply of all blood types.

The Vitalant mobile unit is coming to Bell Center on September 8 & 9 and has appointments available! To make an appointment and help save lives, contact the Sun City AZ Visitors Center, visit www.vitalant.org, download and use the Vitalant app or call 877-25-VITAL (877-258-4825).
