Region's lifeline running short in Mercer County blood supply
The American Red Cross and Princeton Community Hospital urge local residents to donate as Mercer County falls 1,464 units short of its annual need of 4,594 red cells and 539 platelets. O Negative supply is critically low regionwide, with cancer patients among those needing blood. Summer drives suffer as schools close, prompting a regional team effort across 46 counties to boost donations.
