A POLICE OFFICER OR SHERIFF’S DEPUTY MIGHT NEED BLOOD HERE IN NEW MEXICO. BUT EVEN BEFORE THE RECENT SHOOTINGS OF OFFICERS IN BATON ROUGE, THERE WAS A MAJOR EFFORT UNDERWAY TO REPLENISH BLOOD SUPPLIES IN THE ALBUQUERQUE AREA. MICHELE MOORE WRIGHT IS WITH UNITED BLOOD SERVICES. SHE TELLS 770 KKOB THEY’RE RUNNING SHORT ON ALL TYPES OF BLOOD…ESPECIALLY O-POSITIVE AND O-NEGATIVE.
WRIGHT SAYS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A THREE TO FIVE DAY SUPPLY, THEY NEED 300 UNITS A DAY. ANYONE INTERESTED IN DONATING SHOULD CALL 246-1457…OR LOG ONTO WWW.UNITEDBLOODSERVICES.ORG.
