BLOOD DRIVE DATES SET AT SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY
Area blood supplies are running low, but the American Red Cross and Southeast Missouri State University are teaming up to help save lives. A blood drive has been scheduled on Nov. 30, Dec. 1, and Dec. 2, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day at Robert A. Dempster Hall.
Although all blood types are needed, type O is particularly needed. Type O is the most common blood type and is used in 52 percent of all surgeries. Since only 46 percent of the population has type O blood, type O donors are asked to give blood more frequently. If you don't know your blood type, you can find out by donating blood. After the drive, Red Cross will send you a card with your blood type, the number of times you have given blood in the past and will expedite future blood donations.
For more information about the Southeast Missouri State University blood drive or other drives in your area, call American Red Cross at 1-800-GIVE-LIFE.
