Washington Hospital Center Running Low On Blood
(Washington, DC) -- The Washington Hospital Center's Blood Donor Center says they're in critical need of blood donations right now. What makes the problem even worse is that while they're used to shortages every summer, this year's has cropped up sooner than expected. Especially in need is the universally used Type-O blood, the kind most often used in blood transfusions and surgeries. The Blood Donor Center is asking anyone, but especially those with Type-O blood, to drop by their Irving Street location Thursday and Friday to donate. Officials there say on average around the country, only five-percent of the population donates blood.
