TULSA, Okla. — Our Blood Institute (OBI) announced that the organization is facing a “dangerous emergency blood shortage.” To combat this, OBI issued an immediate call for donors of all blood types.
The organization explained they normally have a three-to-five day supply of lifesaving blood available, but it is well below that level now.
OBI is the sixth-largest independent blood center in the U.S., and they have 16 donor centers in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas.
For more information on where to donate, you can check out their website.
