Lake Norman Regional Medical Center in Mooresville, North Carolina, is set to host a blood drive in collaboration with the American Red Cross on February 26. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Community Rooms A and B at the medical center's location on 171 Fairview Road.
The blood drive is open to the public, and while walk-ins are welcome, appointments are recommended for efficiency. Participants are reminded to bring photo identification.
The American Red Cross emphasizes an urgent need for blood donations due to recent shortfalls. "Donors of all blood types are needed," they stated, particularly highlighting types O negative, B negative, and A negative as critical. The organization noted that "type O negative is the universal blood type that can be safely transfused to anyone" and is frequently used for trauma patients.
To schedule an appointment, individuals can call 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit their website using the code "LNRMC."
