Miller-Keystone Blood Center reminds citizens that as hospitals resume elective surgeries, the daily transfusion needs of these organizations is increasing. As a result, our community blood supply is in need of donors of all blood types.

This includes a critical need for O-negative blood donors. O-negative donors are referred to as “Universal Blood Donors” because the blood of an O-negative donor can be transfused to anyone, regardless of blood type. This is especially important in trauma cases, where there may not be time to confirm a victim’s blood type. Schedule your lifesaving donation today.
