SHEFFIELD-Alabama, along with the rest of the nation, is experiencing a significant crisis in blood supply, and we need our community’s help.According to LifeSouth, the donation center that supplies blood to the majority of Alabama’s hospitals, our statewide blood supply is at “Critical” levels. That means, on average there is less than two days’ supply of blood on their shelves. If there was a car wreck or other serious trauma in some parts of the state, hospitals fear they might not have the blood needed to treat patients.
Helen Keller Hospital will be hosting a blood drive on Tuesday, November 16. The LifeSouth Bloodmobile will be parked next to the Keller ER from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. All donors will receive a free appetizer card courtesy of Texas Roadhouse and a pound of cookie dough from Papa Murphy’s.
