Mayo: Urgent need for O+ and O- blood donations

News | 2021

The Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Center has an “urgent and immediate” need for O+ and O- donations.

According to Mayo, the blood is needed by patients undergoing surgeries or treatment for medical problems, such as cancer, bleeding disorders, liver damage, burns, and severe bacterial infections.

If you are able to donate, appointments should be scheduled ahead of time by calling (507) 284-4475. Same-day appointments can be made.

Eligible candidates, Mayo says, must have waited at least 12 weeks since their last donation to maintain healthy iron levels.
