Blood Assurance says several days of heavy hospital usage have pushed its supply of O-positive and O-negative blood to critical levels, while platelet supplies are also nearing critical status.

The organization says there is an emergency need for donors as soon as possible, especially those with Type O blood.

The need comes as the region moves into severe weather season, a time when trauma cases can rise and put even more pressure on local blood supplies. Blood Assurance says rebuilding the supply quickly is especially important to help meet patient needs.

Blood Assurance is the primary supplier of blood and blood products for Atrium Health Floyd and AdventHealth Redmond in Rome, and it also supplies Cartersville Medical Center. Donations made at Blood Assurance donor centers and blood drives in Rome and Cartersville help support local patients across the area.

Eligible donors are encouraged to make an appointment as soon as possible, although walk-ins are also being accepted.

To schedule a donation, visit Blood Assurance online, call 800-962-0628, or text BAGIVE to 999777.
