Red Cross encourages people to donate blood, convalescent plasma
The American Red Cross is in urgent need of Type O blood.
According to Brian Williams, donor recruitment account representative of the Central Ohio American Red Cross Blood Services, urgent need means that the supply of Type O blood is not where they need it to be for meeting the orders of hospitals.
Williams said that January, even pre-pandemic and even more so during the pandemic, is a rough month for the agency for blood collection.
Now that the schools are not participating as much as they had prior to the pandemic the agency is hurting a bit more when it comes to low blood collection.
Those words were on a sign in the house where Doug Keenan grew up.
âThatâs always been on my mind,â he said of that saying.
Keenan hasnât just thought that mantra, heâs lived it
And despite retiring after 30 years as Noble County Purdue Extension educator at the end of this month, Keenan is going to keep on with that life philosophy as he becomes a family life skills coach at the Bowen Center.
âIâll get to help people,â Keenan said. âWhat gets better than that? Nothing.â
Keenan has helped people from all walks of life in all sorts of ways.
