Bay Area Blood Donation Centers

Thursday, September 09, 2010

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Blood Centers of the Pacific is issuing an emergency appeal for blood donations, particularly of Type O negative, to replenish the supply currently being depleted by those injured in today's explosion and fire in San Bruno.

Area hospitals are requiring significant amounts of Type O negative blood -- the type that can be given to anyone in an emergency.

While the blood center will be able to move supplies from other hospitals to the ones treating the injured patients, the Bay Area's blood supply will need to be replenished as soon as possible, blood center spokeswoman Lisa Bloch said.
