Marsh Regional Blood Center is in critical need of more blood supplies, with current stockpiles roughly a third of what Center Director Steffanie Sukel says the center would like to have on-hand.
Sukel said blood supply has been low over the last year, and said donating blood isnât on the minds of most people, calling it a âperfect storm of events for the past year.â Sukel said they like to have at least a three-day supply of blood on the shelves at Marsh, in addition to whatâs in hospitals.
âRight now weâve got probably about a one-day supply, and the need never stops through any of this,â Sukel said.
