Mississippi Blood Services (MBS) is making an urgent appeal for blood and platelet donors as the blood supply remains at dangerously low inventory levels. Donations are needed now to replenish the blood supply for Mississippi hospitals and the patients they serve.
Donors with A+, A-, B+, B-, O+, and O- blood types are critically needed and especially encouraged to donate. Platelet donors are also urgently needed to help ensure lifesaving blood products remain available for patients who depend on them.
To help meet this urgent need, MBS is offering special weekend and extended donor center hours through the remainder of August, along with donor incentives at its Flowood and Oxford Donor Centers.
