NEWS BRIEFS: Blood donations needed across the Lowcountry

“Right now, the Red Cross needs to collect more than 1,000 additional blood donations (nationally) each day to meet current demand as hospitals respond to an unusually high number of traumas and emergency room visits, organ transplants and elective surgeries,” the agency said in a news release.
