Alton Memorial Hospital to host Aug. 20 American Red Cross blood drive
The next American Red Cross blood drive at Alton Memorial Hospital will be from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 20, in the AMH café meeting rooms.
To register, go to www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=AltonMemorial or call the Red Cross at 800-733-7267.
All who donate blood to the Red Cross during the month of August will receive a $20 Amazon gift card.
The Red Cross needs donors of all blood types — and especially type O blood — to give blood this summer to help meet daily hospital demands. People with Type O blood are considered universal donors, meaning their blood can be used to transfuse people with any other blood type.
