St. Luke’s Hospital is sponsoring a blood drive just before Thanksgiving, a season of great need for blood supplies. The Blood Connection will be parked on the MRI pad at St. Luke’s Hospital from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 16. Please remember to bring a photo ID. All donors will receive a nice perk this time of year — a $10 gift card to Walmart.
