While 62-percent of the public is eligible to donate blood, only 3-percent donates blood.

That’s why officials at Tomah Health and Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin are asking residents to donate blood September 16th or 17th from noon to five P-M at Recreation Park in Tomah.

Versiti Regional Manager of Donor Recruitment Ian Butts said community drives are important to fill blood supplies for more than 60 Wisconsin hospitals including Tomah Health

Versiti reports that O negative blood and O positive blood inventories are extremely low.

Donors can register for a donation time online at Tomah Health-dot-ORG.

As an extra incentive, all attempting donors will receive a coupon for a complimentary 16-ounce beverage from Bruiser and Company Coffee House at six-twenty-nine East Clifton Street in Tomah.
