Marsh Regional Short On Blood Looking For Donors

The continued spread of COVID-19 and social distancing efforts is impacting blood donation supplies nationwide and our region is no exception. As local schools and organizations close due to the virus outbreak, the Marsh Regional Blood Center is now facing the possibility it will be unable to meet the needs of patients in this region. Marsh Regional Director Don Campbell says the situation could turn into an unprecedented blood shortage,unless donors come out and give as soon as they can. To help address the shortage, Marsh Regional has expanded its donor center hours from 8 am till 8 pm, Monday through Friday and on Saturdays from 8 am till 4 pm.
