SILVER CITY, N.M. — Vitalant is calling on the Silver City community to help address a critical blood shortage by donating at the upcoming blood drive at the Grant County Chamber of Commerce.
Blood donations have steadily declined since May, with the July Fourth holiday further reducing donor turnout. As a result, Vitalant's supply of type O blood has fallen to its lowest level in two years. While type O donors are especially needed, donors of all blood types are encouraged to give to help ensure local hospitals have the blood they need for trauma patients, surgeries, cancer treatments, childbirth complications, and other medical emergencies.
