Carter BloodCare is part of an emergency consortium that responded, sending significant amounts of blood, mostly O-negative, which can be used universally to treat trauma patients.
"In our area, there are 800 patients a day that rely on blood transfusions. Those are all blood types. Platelets, those are always in high demand," said Veronica Moore, with Carter BloodCare.
"It’s a little more urgent today, yes. Because that O-negative blood is in high demand. Cities at critical levels, we’ve seen it stay at critical levels throughout the pandemic, so we want to be prepared," Moore said.
