BAKER COUNTY – The American Red Cross is reminding everyone that blood donation remains essential. According to the Red Cross, “for patients in the emergency room, fighting cancer or coping with a life-threatening illness, help can’t wait. Their health is reliant on the selfless generosity of blood donors. However, the blood supply continues to face challenges from the ongoing pandemic and extreme winter weather that impacted much of the U.S. last month.”
Locally there are a number of opportunities to make a blood donation.
