American
Hospital Association, American Medical Association and American Nurses
Association issue a joint statement on Blood Shortages

COVID-19 pandemic poses ongoing challenges to organizations that have
bolstered our blood supply for many years. We now face a blood supply
crisis that the American Red Cross call the worst blood shortage in over

Association (AHA), American Medical Association (AMA)and American Nurses
Association (ANA), urge everyone who can donate blood, to do so. To
