NEW: Patients need O-negative blood right now.
When you’re O-negative, you’re everyone’s type! What does that mean? When seconds count, O-negative blood is the first type that’s reached for. That’s because anyone can receive a transfusion of O–negative blood, regardless of their blood type – cool, right?
It can save anyone in a crisis. But when it’s your blood, it’s more than saving someone else. It’s knowing part of you was there when it mattered most. No wonder O-negative donors have earned the title of Universal Donor!
And you know… emergencies don’t take a summer break. Donations often do.
If you’re O-negative, you can be the one they’ll never know, but never forget. O-negative blood is vital in emergency care, because it can be given to any patient regardless of blood type. Hospitals have the blood they need today, but that could change if donation appointments are not filled. Demand is high for O-negative blood this summer, and we need donors to give now to strengthen the supply.
