One North Carolina nonprofit says it needs to hit 1,000 units of blood a day to keep up with demand for the hospitals it serves across the region.

“A steady, dependable supply of blood products is vital to our mission, and we need everyone’s help with this,” said Dr. Wesley Liao, the campus physician executive at Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital.
