The Magnolia Community Blood Drive is today.?Our community?s need for blood products, to save lives and improve the quality of life for patients, never goes away.?From? Bloodworks Northwest:
- Every 2 minutes someone is Western Washington needs blood.
- Bloodworks Northwest must register around 900 donors per weekday.
Just last week, there were three patients in their 60’s required a total of: 36 unit of red cells, 31 units of plasma and 4 units of platelets to survive. That required 24 donors just to save these 3 patients lives. Just think how many families and friends in addition to the patients are grateful for everything you do to support our lifesaving mission.?Thank you for making a difference in the lives of patients in our community.
Currently they ?are 1,601 units below operational levels, leaving 5 major blood types with only a 1 day supply (emergency level):
????????? O Positive Inventory – 47% below operational levels
????????? B Negative Inventory – 58% below operational levels
????????? O Negative Inventory – 42% below operational levels
????????? A Negative Inventory – 38% below operational levels
????????? A Positive Inventory – 49% below operational levels
