A statewide emergency has been declared by Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin as the need for blood donations continues.
They say they are experiencing a ‘perfect storm,’ with elective surgeries ramping back up, trauma cases on the rise, and hundreds of blood drives being cancelled.
If you’d like to donate, appointments can be scheduled by calling 1-877-BE-A-HERO or at versiti.org/Wisconsin.
Versiti Chief Medical Officer Tom Abshire talked with WTMJ’s Jane Matenaer about the ongoing need. Listen in the player above.
