Blood drives coming up in the Southern Tier this April
SOUTHERN TIER, N.Y. (WETM) – The American Red Cross will be holding more blood drives in the Southern Tier during the month of April to continue to maintain the blood supply.
The Red Cross is encouraging those of all blood types to donate blood, especially those with type O blood, to ensure that there is enough supply for hospitals to continue to perform lifesaving transfusions on patients in need.
