ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to the
Alaska earthquake on Friday November 30, 2018, Blood Bank of
Alaska temporarily closed
collections to ensure the safety of our donors. All
facilities have passed required inspections and routine operations
resumed December 1, 2018.
Thank you to the many community members that have reached out to
donate and support their fellow Alaskans in the last 24
hours. Donations will continue to be needed in the coming
weeks and during the holiday season. Please call 907-222-5630
or visit bloodbankofalaska.org to schedule an appointment to
donate.
There is no substitute for blood when it is needed. Over
15,000 Alaskans donate blood each year to help fellow community
members. This generosity helps a range of patients from those
fighting leukemia and other cancers to trauma victims and mothers
that suffer complications during child birth. Approximately
700 donors must donate every week to maintain the blood supply in
Alaska. Blood Bank of Alaska is proudly celebrating 56 years of
service helping patients in need. Save a life and donate blood, you
can make a difference.
