Tis special to the Tribune. Red Cross calls for donations Severe winter weather through-


out much of the eastern half of the United States in recent weeks has caused the cancella- tion of more than 14,000 blood and platelet donations through the American Red Cross, more than 3,200 of which were in the Carolinas Region. The severity of the impact has stressed even the Red Cross’ robust national inventory management system, which can move blood products to where they’re needed most, such as when severe weather hits. “We have not seen the January


supply drop this dramatically in a decade and we need to reverse this now”, said Joyce H. Brendel, American Red Cross Carolinas Region’s chief executive officer. “You don’t wait to refuel once you’ve run out of gas. Donat- ing blood or platelets now helps ensure immediate and future pa- tient needs will be met.” The Red Cross urges all eli-


gible donors in unaffected areas to make an appointment to give blood or platelets in the com- ing days, and those in affected areas to donate as soon as travel is deemed safe, by calling 1-800- RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or by visiting redcrossblood. org. Donations will help replen- ish the Red Cross blood supply
