National Blood Crisis Hits U.S. | Green Bay News

The American Red Cross is in a national blood emergency, hitting a four-year summer low with critically low supplies—especially type O positive, now down to less than one day’s worth. Hospitals are being forced to limit blood shipments as patient care hangs in the balance. Extreme heat, poor air quality, and illness have deterred donors, despite recent efforts. To turn things around, the Red Cross is offering movie tickets for July donors and $20 Amazon gift cards in August—and urging everyone to book appointments now via their app, website, or phone. Blood drives are happening daily, including at the Green Bay center—find your nearest location online before it’s too late.
