Image: MGN Lee Health continues to be in urgent need of blood donations to replenish low supply levels, and they’ve scheduled several drives for the month of January. The coronavirus pandemic has led to many canceled blood drives and the depletion of the health system’s supply. Type O+ remains critically low, and supply levels for all other blood types are also below normal. “We are in critical need of donations as blood inventories are at some of their lowest levels since the start of the pandemic,” said Jeremy Puckett, Blood Center supervisor at Lee Health. “Maintaining a constant blood supply ensures optimal treatment for all children and adult patients who need it.” The Lee Health Blood Mobile will be at the following locations in January: Jan. 2: Rural King, 26831 S.
