The Acadiana area is experiencing a critical shortage of blood donations. ALL BLOOD TYPES are needed. Due to COVID-19, cancellations of blood drives at high schools, companies and community events have occurred.
Due to a nationwide blood shortage, other blood centers are unable to help support our community when we fall short on donations from local donors. Lourdes Blood Donor Center is working hard every day to meet the needs of the patients in our community during these difficult times.
It is imperative to have a steady blood supply available to support our patients. The need for blood never stops and there is no substitute for human blood when it is needed for a patient.
It is safe to donate blood. Lourdes Blood Donor Center has implemented several new safety measures in response to COVID-19 to provide a safe donation experience for blood donors who visit our local donor center. Generous donors are needed now to ensure an adequate and safe blood supply for our community’s patients.
