Critical need for blood throughout Upper Peninsula

UP-WIDE–The U.P. Regional Blood Center, a service of Marquette General, is in critical need of O-negative, A-negative and A-positive blood throughout Upper Peninsula. The need is high in Hancock, Iron Mountain, Marquette and Sault Ste. Marie.

If you haven’t donated in the last 8 weeks, you can give the “gift of life.” Did you know that just 1 pint of your blood can help save 3 lives? All blood donated at the UP Regional Blood Center stays in the UP.
