Blood Bank Urgently Seeks Donations

The NIH Blood Bank is in critical need of A positive and O positive blood donations.

There’s an acute shortage due to surgeries. A positive and O positive blood types are among the most commonly used in surgeries, emergency transfusions, and treatments for critically ill patients.

Walk-in donors are welcome or call 301-496-1048 to schedule an appointment. The NIH Blood Bank is open Mondays – Fridays from 7:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. For directions, see: https://www.cc.nih.gov/bloodbank/find-us.
