Central Maine Healthcare is joining the American Red Cross's call for blood donations.
The Red Cross said earlier this month that donations in the US are at a 20-year low. And in Maine, hundreds of donor appointments remain unfilled.
CMH says it currently has adequate supply, but the region is experiencing a severe shortage.
Adam Norfolk, a technical lab supervisor at Central Maine Medical Center, says the current pool of donors is aging and discontinuing donations, and younger people aren't donating enough to replenish inventory.
