Anne Arundel Medical Center issued the following announcement on Feb. 18.

Our blood banks are still in need, especially Luminis Health Doctors Community Medical Center – please consider donating, or contact our blood centers to schedule a mobile blood drive.

Twenty minutes of your time and a pint of blood could save a life – or three.

Blood banks nationwide are in dire need of donations amid what the Red Cross calls its “worst blood shortage in over a decade,” and our local hospitals are no exception.

“Everybody’s feeling it,” said Megan Frisk, Luminis Anne Arundel Medical Center Blood Bank and Blood Donor Center manager.

The Luminis AAMC Blood Donor Center takes donations by appointment onsite at the hospital, but mobile blood drives account for more than half of its collections.
