NORWAY – Stephens Memorial Hospital and the American Red Cross will hold a blood drive from 7 a.m. to noon Monday, Sept. 29, at the hospital’s Harper Conference Center in the Ripley Medical Building in Norway.

Appointments are required and may be made by phoning the Red Cross at (800) 482-0743. All donors must show a government-issued picture identification or an American Red Cross blood donor card prior to donating.

“The blood supply is facing a crisis, and the need for blood is increasing dramatically,” said Tom Miller, donor recruitment representative from the Red Cross.
