Texoma Regional Blood Center has no blood, declares emergency
The shelves at Texoma Regional Blood Center are completely empty and as a result, the center has been elevated from critically low on blood supply to declaring a blood emergency.
The blood center is the solitary blood supplier for Texoma Medical Center, Wilson N. Jones Regional Medical Center, Baylor Scott & White Surgical Hospital in Sherman, Bonham TMC and Muenster Memorial Hospitals.
"As of this evening, June 17, 2021, TRBC has NO blood available to re-stock area hospitals," a release issued Friday said. "Currently, the hospitals in Grayson, Fannin, and Cooke Counties do not have enough blood on their shelves to meet the daily needs of the patients being treated. The current blood supply shortage has surpassed any known blood shortage in the area's history."
The blood center is in need of all blood types and the emergency declaration is likely to remain in place for weeks.
