LifeShare Blood Center, with the support of several of its hospital partners, is issuing an emergency appeal.
Patient care is being severely threatened by the inadequate blood supply that the region has been experiencing for several weeks. LifeShare is currently unable to fill hospital orders and is rationing blood.
LifeShare is asking anyone who is eligible to donate blood.
A blood drive will be held at the Nashville Wal-Mart on Friday, May 31st from 2 until 7 p.m.
More information about donor eligibility and upcoming blood drives can be found at LifeShare.org.
