UCHealth’s Blood Supplies Critically Low
If your new year’s resolution was to volunteer more, then now is your time to shine. The blood stores at UCHealth are critically low and they are requesting people consider donating in the next three weeks to bolster supplies and save lives.
According to a press release, UCHealth Garth Englund Blood Donation Centers have been experiencing particularly difficult donation lulls, hitting patients where it hurts when they need it most.
The holidays and new year schedule changes usually cause donor numbers to drop for most blood centers, but with the additional obstacle of pandemic precautions, clinics have found themselves facing stringent shortages and increased numbers of patients.
