"All types are needed on a regular
basis," said David Parsons, chief executive officer of Central
Illinois Community Blood Center. "However, two of the most seriously
injured are O types, and their usage is ongoing. Because the O types
are the most commonly used, this puts the general supply of O at
risk."
Central Illinois Community Blood Center
will team up with Immanuel Lutheran Church at the Logan County
Paramedic Association building on Monday, May 3, from noon until 6
p.m. to help save lives in central Illinois.
For more information or to make an
appointment, call Tara Tyler toll-free at 1 (866) 448-3253 [(866)
