    Dayton hospitals have reported high blood usage from June 21-24 for trauma, heart surgeries, and gunshot wounds, according to the Centerville Police Departments.

    “Currently multiple blood types are in low supply and there is a critical shortage of type O and type B blood,” the department said on social media .

    Critical means that the local blood center, Solvita, cannot fill all hospital requests.

    The blood drive will be this afternoon from 3:30-7:30 p.m. at the Centerville Police Department Training Headquarters on West Spring Valley Pike.
