The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO), is reissuing a critical appeal for all blood types.
CBCO says reserves are alarmingly low, due in part to severe winter weather that has cancelled many blood drives this week.
The CBCO is the exclusive provider of blood for patients at 44 area healthcare facilities.
Eligible donors are urged to give at a CBCO center near them.
Springfield donors can visit the CBCO donation center at the corner of Campbell and Plainview Road.
CBCO is open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 6 pm, Saturday from 7 am to 1 pm, and Sunday from 9 am to 3 pm.
