San Antonio’s BAMC seeks donations at September drive to stave off blood shortage

Amid an emergency blood shortage, the Armed Services Blood Program, Red Cross and the South Texas Blood Program are running Sept.19 blood drive to support the Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) blood supply. The Fort Sam Houston blood drive follows a 25% drop in the Red Cross blood supply, according to BAMC officials. “The American Red Cross is experiencing an emergency blood shortage as the nation faces dangerous levels of heat and people head out for final summer travel plans,” the Red Cross said in a recent statement.
