The need for blood donations is at an all time high.
Canadian Blood Services are looking for new donors to ensure hospitals remain stocked with life-essentials for patients throughout the summer months.
To keep pace with the growing demand, new donors of all blood types are needed, but is particularly vital that people with group O blood donate as soon as they can.
myFM spoke with Community Development Manager Bikram Singh Basra, who shared with us only 80% of available appointments are being booked each week.
Blood products play a critical role in everyday medical care. Many people with various health conditions require regular transfusion therapy
The next time Canadian Blood Services will be in St. Thomas is on Wednesday, August 7th at the Joe Thornton Community Centre.
You can book an appointment now at blood.ca, use the GiveBlood app or call 1-888-236-6283.
