The Kentucky Blood Center reports it cannot currently meet 100% of hospital blood orders due to a combination of declining donations and increased medical demand. The only way we can do that is for people in our community to donate blood," said Mandy Brajuha, the vice president of external relations with the Kentucky Blood Center. The Kentucky Blood Center is especially seeking O positive and O negative donors, as more than 50% of the population is made up of individuals with O-type blood, although all donations are accepted and appreciated. O negative is the universal blood type, meaning the red blood cells can be transfused to anyone," the press release states. The Kentucky Blood Center is accepting blood donations this week in eight different donor sites and 20 different mobile drive opportunities.
