Blood Assurance seeking plasma donations during International Plasma Awareness Week

As International Plasma Awareness Week kicks off, Blood Assurance is urging donors to roll up a sleeve and donate.

The community nonprofit is in critical need of those with type A and AB blood to donate plasma. On Monday, Blood Assurance had just 27 plasma units of type A and AB, combined. The blood bank needs to have at least 100 units of both types in order to adequately supply local hospitals.
