Saving lives through blood donation: The annual summer broadcasters for blood is Monday July 8th
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Blood donation is always critically important to supply our local hospitals for patients dealing with regular treatments or experiencing trauma. According to the American Red Cross, summer poses significant challenges for blood donation collection. Vacations and other seasonal activities result in a notable decline in donations, even though the need for blood remains high. Regular donors, including high school and university students who contribute up to 30% of the blood supply, are often unavailable during this time. “Our stable donors sometimes are away from their normal routines. They’re on vacation and most important to the schools, high schools and universities. They’re out, so we no longer have access to that very valuable component.”
