Blood drives protect blood supplies
Ada and other Hardin County locations have scheduled blood drives assist the American Red Cross and help keep the blood supply from dropping ahead of the holidays.
The Red Cross is urging blood donors of all types and those who have never given before to book a time to give blood or platelets now. People of all blood types are needed, especially platelet donors and those with type O blood, blood products that are critical to keeping hospitals ready to help patients depending on transfusions in the weeks ahead.
