“Blood cannot be manufactured, it can’t be stockpiled and so we’re asking people to consider making a donation,” said Regional Communications Director Jim McIntyre of the American Red Cross, Northern Ohio Region.
“The American Red Cross has seen a shortfall of about twenty-five thousand blood donations the first two months of the summer,” said McIntyre. “That makes it really difficult to keep hospital shelves stocked with lifesaving blood products.”
