The Red Cross' blood supply has been diminished by cases of the flu. Hospitals in the region are beginning to see the effects of a diminished blood supply, Red Cross officials say.
"Patients are counting on us to supply them with the blood they need to survive and we will do everything we can to support them," said Christine Bales, CEO of American Red Cross blood services for Missouri and Illinois.
