The American Red Cross, UVA Health’s primary supplier of blood products, is facing a severe blood shortage. As the number of trauma cases, organ transplants, and elective surgeries rise across the country, the nation’s blood supply is being depleted. 

Eligible donors, especially those with Type O blood and platelet donors, are asked to make an appointment to give now and help save patient lives.
