Cyberattack Affecting the Blood Supply in Florida Hospitals
A South Florida blood center has experienced a recent cyberattack that is affecting their ability to provide blood products to the hospitals they serve. We have been informed that this blood shortage is causing significant disruption to the majority of Florida hospitals.
LifeSouth is not experiencing any software issues and our operations are fully functional.
Our top priority are the hospitals we serve; however, we are helping provide available excess blood products and continue to offer our assistance.
We are asking our community for blood donations to help with the shortages caused by this incident. Any surplus blood we have, we will send to help affected hospitals and their patients.
Please consider donating blood at any of the LifeSouth donation centers or blood drives found at: https://donors.lifesouth.org/donor/schedules/zip
