Chattanooga, TN – Local hospitals are facing a dire situation as the community blood supply has plummeted to critically low levels due to an influx of trauma patients. The urgent need for blood has prompted Blood Assurance, the leading non-profit blood center, to issue a plea for donors, specifically those with O-positive and O-negative blood types, to come forward and help save lives.

The surge in trauma cases has rapidly depleted the available blood reserves, putting patients in jeopardy. Blood Assurance is urging eligible individuals to roll up their sleeves and become someone’s hero by donating blood. Potential donors can conveniently schedule an appointment by visiting the organization’s website at www.bloodassurance.org. Additionally, walk-ins are welcome at any Blood Assurance donation center or mobile blood drive.

Throughout this month, Blood Assurance is expressing their gratitude to donors with a special token of appreciation. Donors will receive a vintage Blood Assurance item, ranging from exclusive t-shirts and coffee mugs to practical cooler totes and more. This gesture not only serves as a thank you to the donors but also encourages more people to come forward and contribute to the community’s well-being.

Hospital staff and patients alike are relying on the generosity of community members to ensure a stable blood supply for emergency situations. Every donation has the potential to make a significant impact and save lives, underscoring the importance of community solidarity during times of crisis.

Blood Assurance is committed to ensuring that patients in local hospitals receive the vital blood transfusions they need to recover from injuries and surgeries. By donating blood, individuals can play an active role in supporting their community and providing the gift of life to those in desperate need.

Local residents are encouraged to spread the word and encourage friends, family, and colleagues to donate blood at their nearest Blood Assurance donation center or mobile blood drive.
