Most blood types at less than three-day reserve levels – All blood types are needed
October 6, 2021 – Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO), the sole supplier of blood and plasma to patients at 44 area healthcare facilities, needs blood for local use. The organization reports a less than a three-day supply of most blood types, including type O Negative. Blood drives around the CBCO service region serve a vital function in preserving the good health of our community.
CBCO donors provide all the blood for patients at dozens of healthcare facilities across the Ozarks. Ava area residents will have the opportunity to donate at the following location:
Ava Community Blood Drive
Community Center – Community Room
109 N. Spring St., Ava
Tuesday, October12 – 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Successful donors will receive a heather grey “Chiefs Kingdom” T-shirt with the familiar red and gold arrowhead logo. The shirt will identify you as a Chiefs fan and proud blood donor.
Appointments are strongly encouraged for this blood drive but are not necessary. Make an appointment to give at https://www.cbco.org/donate-blood/.
On behalf of local hospital patients, CBCO thanks blood donors from across the region for giving life to your community.
