Local blood donations can be made at the Blood Bank of Alaska Fairbanks location.
As the United States continues to see an overall shortage of blood donations, Alaska specifically is low on o-negative blood.
“Right now, we have a dire need for platelets. There’s a lot of heavy usage going on in the state. Typically, our state’s Trauma Center uses a lot of platelets, but all of the hospitals across the state are using platelets. That’s because Alaskans are out there being active and things happen when folks are active, and there’s a need for that product when they come to the hospital,” said Bob Scanlon, CEO of the Blood Bank of Alaska.
