LaHood Gives Blood To Highlight Supply Shortage During Pandemic

U.S Rep. Darin LaHood, R-Peoria, is hoping to lead by example in urging people to donate blood as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impacts supply.
LaHood made a donation of his own Tuesday at the newly renamed ImpactLife blood center on Glen Avenue in Peoria, noting how critical the blood supply is to the health care system.
“As we've seen over the last 15 months with COVID, blood donations are down 30-40% across the country,” said LaHood. “So I think it's important that we recognize that and encourage people to give blood.”
Previously known by three different regional names, ImpactLife is the not-for-profit community blood center serving more than 120 hospitals across Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Wisconsin – including OSF HealthCare and UnityPoint Health in Peoria.
