Due to a serious shortage of blood donations, Blood Assurance is currently seeking blood donors of all blood types.
As the only blood bank providing blood to more than 50 area hospitals, Blood Assurance needs an estimated 400 donors to meet the needs of local patients.
Benefit to the donor!
Officials at Blood Assurance say that between 12 locations and 10 bloodmobiles throughout 32 counties, the number of units collected per day this week has been between 300 – 325.
“We do not make a critical appeal to the community without serious consideration, but at this point we do not have a choice,” said Linda Hisey, vice-president of marketing and public relations. ”We have not fully recovered from the inclement weather of the past months,” she added.

All donors will receive a complimentary snack and t-shirt. Visitors at any Blood Assurance location or blood drive will also be eligible to register for the monthly promotion.
Donate today and then make plans to donate at the upcoming first annual Signal Spring Expo hosted by the Signal Mountain Business Association, scheduled for Saturday, April 30 at the Signal Mountain Business Center. 
If you have received this email before it’s time for you to come in, please help us by recruiting other volunteer donors. (For a list of blood centers that depend solely on Blood Assurance for blood components, visit www.bloodassurance.org/promotions)
