WASILLA – The Blood Bank of Alaska is closing its donation centers in Wasilla and Soldotna because of a lack of demand.
Spokesman David Large says statewide demand for blood has dropped 10 percent in the last five months because people are undergoing fewer elective surgeries.
Large says leases at the two branches are up at the end of the year, so it didn’t make sense to renew.
He says the supply of blood to hospitals will not be affected.
