Abel Blood shortage could affect medical procedures The American Red Cross fac- es a national crisis – its worst blood shortage in more than a decade, officials there reported. Dangerously low blood sup- ply levels pose a risk to patient care and force doctors to make difficult decisions about who receives blood transfusions and who must wait until more prod- ucts are available. Blood and platelet donations are critically needed to help prevent further delays in vital medical treatments, and donors of all blood types – especially type O − are urged to make an appointment to donate. In recent weeks, the Red Cross had less than a one-day supply of some blood types and has had to limit blood product distributions to hospitals. Much of the loss is contrib- uted to the pandemic and the cancellation of blood drives. “Winter weather across the country and the recent surge of COVID-19 cases are com- pounding the already dire situ- ation facing the blood supply,” said Dr. Baia Lasky, medical director for the Red Cross. “Please, if you are eligible, make an appointment to give blood or platelets in the days and weeks ahead to ensure no patient is forced to wait for critical care.” To make an appointment, go to RedCrossBlood.org or call 800-RED-CROSS.

And no one gets their ideal candidate,” he said. While there are a lot of cities seeking new managers, there also are many candidates out looking, he said. “All of our placements to date have ended up with people who are very qual- ified and, from our clients’ perspective, a very good fit,” Jensen said. “I think you have a very attractive communi- ty geographically. … People who are looking for a stable environment where they can have some influence, I think, this is going to be very attrac- tive.” Jensen Strategies conduct- ed an evaluation of salaries Free obituaries in The Columbia Press The Columbia Press publishes free obituaries of community mem- bers who pass away.
