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.

“You also want them to have
an appreciation for Warren-
ton,” Jensen said. “You want
somebody who gets you.”
The list of must-haves
seemed daunting to some.
“We’re looking for a uni-
corn,” Commissioner Mark
Baldwin said. “This person
doesn’t exist. … There’s so
much here it’s overwhelm-
ing.”
The priorities are not a list
of exclusions, Jensen said.
“This is your ideal candi-
date. 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.”
