Canadian Blood Services is hosting another local blood drive event in Midwestern Ontario.
The blood donation organization will be collecting blood and plasma donations on March 1 in Owen Sound at the legion from 2 p.m. until 7 p.m. O-negative blood donors are especially needed because this blood type can be transfused to any patient. In times of emergency or for newborn patients, O-negative blood, the universal blood type, makes a lifesaving difference.
Donations will be by appointment only. Visit blood.ca, use the GiveBlood app, or call 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283) to find and book an appointment at a donor centre near you.
