WARSAW – Parkview Kosciusko and Parkview Whitley hospitals are teaming up with the American Red Cross to encourage community members to become hometown heroes by donating blood. Heroes do not always wear capes or special suits; when they give the gift of life as blood donors, they wear a bandage as their badge of honor.
Donors are needed to give blood on these dates:

Individuals who donate successfully will receive a $15 Amazon gift card and free A1C testing.
