Where it stands

Patients in Middle Tennessee are receiving less blood than they need due to a severe shortage. The American Red Cross has declared a national blood crisis, with type O supply at dangerous levels.

The crisis is evident in New Hampshire, where nearly half of scheduled blood donation appointments are unfilled. Blood banks in other regions, such as New Orleans and North Dakota, are also holding emergency drives to address the shortage.

The Red Cross and local blood banks are urging the public to donate. The question remains: will the public response be enough to alleviate the crisis?
