The hardest thing to find on the shelves this holiday sea- son will be blood. Increased demand from area hosptials and three months of poor donor turnout has dropped the region’s blood supply to near emergency lev- els, according to the American Red Cross Blood Services, Northeastern Pennsylvania Region. “We're having a very diffi- cult time keeping up with the demand,” said Robert Bogdon, spokesperson for the Ameri- can Red Cross Blood Services. “Over 100 units of blood were used by area patients just the other morning—nearly wiping out most of our inventory, par- ticularly type O blood which is at less than a half a day sup- Ply.” Bogdon said many patients who currently are in need of blood range from accident vic- tims, patients suffering from severe burns and shock, pre- mature newborns, cancer pa- tients, and patients with bleed- ing disorders and blood dis- eases. The Red Cross has needed to import a great deal of blood from the National Red Cross blood inventory to keep area hospital patients alive. “This is extremely serious,” Bogdon stated. “We are thank- ful for all the donors who helped us out during our sum- mer appeal. We are again run- ning out of blood for patients and are asking you to con- tinue to give blood during this busy holiday season.” The Red Cross is asking resi- dents who are eligible to give blood to attend an upcoming bloodmobile or a donor station in their area to build up the blood supply for this holiday season. Blood donors can locate a blood drive or a donor site in their area by calling 1-800- 432-8045. Blood donations tend to de- crease during the holiday sea- son, according to Bogdon and this is the time the American Blood supplies at exteme low levels, donors needed Red Cross needs donors the most. To donate blood, one must be 105 Ibs. or more, age 17 or over, and be in generally good health. “There is no age cutoff to give blood, but yous should be in good health,” he added. Bogdon also pointed out that some people who may not have been eligible in the past, may be eligible now. If you have any questions on your eligibility due to medical rea- sons, you may ask for the Red Cross Nursing Department at 1-800-432-8045. “Any one of us at any time could have a serious accident, be in need of surgery, or con- tract a disease such as cancer or leukemia and need blood,” Bogdon added. The Red Cross Blood Cen- ter covers 19 counties in Penn- sylvania and two in New York. Red Cross supplies blood and blood products to 41 area hos- pitals. Senior Citizen Centers spon- sored by the Luzerne/Wyoming Counties Bureau for the Aging offer hot noon meals Monday through Friday to people 60 years of age or older.
