In an effort to address a critical shortage in regional and local blood supply, the Butler Health System is holding a blood drive.
The public is encouraged to make an appointment through the Vitalant website or smartphone app for sometime between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Thursday. Appointments can also be made by calling 412-209-7000.
Those interested in donating should go to the Nixon Sarver classroom near the Tower entrance to Butler Memorial Hospital.
All those who make a donation will receive a coupon for $3.50 off their next purchase from the Brady Street Café, the To Your Health Café, or the Crossroads Café. All are located inside BHS facilities.
