Red Cross Needs Our Help
by Wendy McNamara
| Hospitals and critical care facilities nationwide are facing a dangerously low supply of blood. With more than 45,000 units needed daily, I encourage Hoosiers to consider donating. | |||||

Donating blood saves lives and ensures patients can receive critical care. This is especially important right now as the low blood supply is causing many hospitals to alter or postpone treatment for some patients. Recently at the annual Statehouse blood drive, I made a donation and welcomed Beth Sweeney (pictured), the new executive director for Southwest Indiana Chapter of the American Red Cross, to our Capitol. State legislators also honored the American Red Cross with a resolution, which I co-authored, recognizing the work of the nonprofit.
