MARTINS FERRY, OHIO (WTRF) — A local hospital is stepping up, making a difference in what Red Cross officials say is an unprecedented blood shortage.
Covid 19 played a big role in this shortage but now East Ohio Regional Hospital and the American Red Cross joined together to help out .
They held a blood drive today at the hospital and employees filled all the available slots to donate. Earlier this month they collected 39 units out of a possible 41 donors. But they aren’t stopping there.
