Winter weather has impacted CBC and the regional blood supply. The traditional challenges of winter are more difficult due to the continued impact of COVID-19. Type O blood remains in low supply.

CBC is urging eligible community members to donate at least twice in 2022. Remote workers are encouraged to find a local blood drive and donate. CBC needs new platelet, plasma or double red cell donors. Call (937) 461-3220 to learn how you can help.
