“KSHE95 blood donors are critical to our ability to maintain the area’s blood supply at a time of the year when blood donations typically decline,” said Scott A. Caswell, CEO of the American Red Cross Missouri-Illinois Blood Services Region. “We appreciate KSHE95 very much for consistently providing such great support to area patients and the hospitals we serve.”
KSHE blood donors have donated more than 125,000 units of blood. The American Red Cross and KSHE hope to collect 2,450 at this year’s December blood drive.
Potential donors should be at least 17 years old (16 with a signed American Red Cross parental consent form), meet weight requirements and be in good health. Donors should remember to bring a picture ID.
