The American Red Cross says it’s facing its worst blood shortage in a decade, posing a risk to patients in need of medical treatment.

To help combat this, Geneva General Hospital will host a blood drive this Friday. The drive will run from 10:00a-3:00p in Conference Room A/B at the hospital.

Those giving blood will receive a $10 Amazon gift card and be registered for a chance to win a $5,000 gift card.
