This week, host Tyrone Tony Reed Jr. talks about Mrs. Shirlene Mercer, Dr. Kimmie Davis, Dr. Ernest Brooks, Sr., and Dr. Wesley McClure: legendary civil rights activists in Jackson, Tenn. as we continue our celebration of Black History Month.
In this episode of "Hub City Now" host Tyrone Tony Reed Jr. interviewed Caitlin Roach, marketing manager of LIFELINE Blood Services.
Roach spoke about where she's from, how she became marketing manager and about LIFELINE Blood Services.
The need for blood donors is very serious because the pandemic has greatly impacted the organization in ways that are having some major consequences, Roach said.
LIFELINE Blood Services currently has mobile units go out to 20 different counties. They serve all of West Tennessee except for Shelby and Tipton and across the river for Houston and Humphreys County. The organization gives blood products to 17 hospitals in 14 air ambulance service areas. In those counties, it is the sole provider of blood.
The April schedule for LIFELINE Blood Services was shared and questions were answered about who can and can't give blood.
LIFELINE is in dire, dire need of donors. Its numbers are down in ways people who have worked there for decades have never seen. If there is anything you can do that goes beyond what you normally do for them, please let them know. They need new donors and lapsed donors to come save lives!
