MADISON – LifeSouth Community Blood Centers has added a second location in Madison, a temporary pop-up site on County Line Road.

“There is no doubt we have struggled with blood donation recently,” Kami May, District Community Development Coordinator said.

May said with recent winter storms and COVID-19, LifeSouth has been placed in an Emergency Appeal, which means there is a less than two-day blood supply on the shelves for area hospitals.

LifeSouth provides blood products for 17 North Alabama Hospitals.

“We want to make it convenient for our donors to give blood,” May said. “The need for blood is not going away, so we want to make sure we are doing everything in our power to make it easy for all to donate.”

The new temporary blood center is located at 12060 County Line Rd. Suite F.
