Critical Need For Blood Donors Rises With The Heat Index

Statewide, Iowa — The recent heat wave is apparently keeping some Iowa blood donors from giving the gift of life. Danielle West, with LifeServe Blood Center, says while they normally have a three-to-five-day supply of all blood types on the shelves, the supply has dwindled to less than a one-day supply.

Donors are needed immediately as the demand for blood products is continuing to rise.

LifeServe provides blood and blood products to more than 120 hospitals in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota.
