Community Blood Center will be conducting a blood drive 12-6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 19, at Osage County Senior Center, to help local hospital patients in our area that depend on lifesaving blood donations. Last year, 28,000 individuals in our area needed a blood transfusion. This year, the local needs for blood are expected to rise. 

Individuals in Osage City can help meet local blood needs by donating blood at the drive at the senior center, located at 604 Market St.
