With National Blood Donor Month underway, New York's blood supply is running dangerously low, prompting the New York Blood Center to declare an emergency and urge residents to roll up their sleeves. January is National Blood Donor Month, established in 1970 by President Richard Nixon as an annual reminder of the lifesaving impact of routine blood donation nationwide. This year's observance comes amid a severe blood shortage. Earlier this month, the New York Blood Center (NYBC) declared a blood emergency.
