Emergency appeal for O Negative blood types – All blood types are needed
September 28, 2021 – Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO), the sole supplier of blood and plasma to patients at 44 area healthcare facilities, has declared a state of emergency and need for type O Negative blood. The organization reports a less than one-day supply of most blood types, including O Negative. Blood drives around the CBCO service region serve a vital function in preserving the good health of our community.
rel="nofollow"CBCO donors provide all the blood for patients at Texas County Memorial Hospital as well as dozens of healthcare facilities across the Ozarks. Houston area residents will have the opportunity to donate at the following location:
First Christian Church
Basement
202 W. State Route 17 – Houston
Friday, October 8 – 12:00 PM to 6:00 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.
