Blood Crisis Hits America | Charlottesville News

The American Red Cross is sounding the alarm on a national blood crisis — the second worst in four years — with Type-O blood dangerously low and hospitals scrambling. Summer’s usual donation slump is hitting harder this year, worsened by school breaks, travel, and weather disruptions. Type-O negative blood is especially critical because it can be given to almost anyone, making it vital in emergencies and surgeries. Donors are urgently needed — especially Type-O — and it’s easier than ever to give: just book a time via the Red Cross website or app. One pint can save multiple lives.
