FORT MYERS, Fla. — Lee Health is seeking blood donations to help replenish supply levels. Current blood supplies are critically low, and Lee Health’s blood centers urgently need donors.
As home to the region’s only trauma center, the health system’s blood supply must remain at healthy levels to quickly care for patients needing an urgent transfusion. Blood and blood products are used in the trauma center and treat cancer patients, premature babies, anemia, and a variety of other conditions.
Lee Health’s blood centers are the sole supplier of all blood products for the entire health system. About 800 units of blood are needed per week, and the blood centers rely on life-saving donations from the community to maintain inventory levels.
The Lee Health Blood Mobile will be at numerous locations throughout Southwest Florida in June.
