Catastrophic flooding in Houston and the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey are prompting Oklahoma Blood Institute to issue an immediate call for blood donors of all blood types.  Blood centers in Houston and other affected areas are unable to collect blood, and Oklahoma Blood Institute is taking part in the nationwide relief effort to help shore up the life-saving blood supply.
-
Oklahoma Blood Institute has already sent 300 units of blood and 25 units of platelets to areas affected by flooding, and has been asked to provide 400 more units this week.  This can only be done if generous donors step up and become part of the disaster response. A major problem blood centers in Southeast Texas are facing is transporting blood to hospitals.  Oklahoma Blood Institute is working with a Dallas-based blood center to help transport the blood to hospitals and patients who need it. You can give blood at 301 E. Cherokee, NWOBI fixed site, Enid, OK 73701.
