Local Blood Center Calls for O Negative Donors

There are eight local blood drives scheduled in March, or you can call (800) 223-6667 to schedule an appointment at the Miller-Keystone Blood Center in Bethlehem.

Miller-Keystone Blood Center has issued a call for blood donors with the O negative blood type. While donations of all types are needed, O negative donations are critical, as individuals with the O negative blood type are referred to as universal blood donors.
