Mercy Health St. Rita's thanked their healthcare leaders for their hard work over the past two years. Today is National Doctors Day, and the celebration saw the hospital hand out gift bags containing a desk organizer to doctors. And doctors that received the gifts were thankful for the gesture.

The Community Blood Center, which supplies blood products to St. Rita’s, will be holding a blood drive this Friday at the medical center. The need for blood has hit a critical level during the pandemic because people got sick and couldn't donate, plus there were fewer donation events. So, this Friday will be the first of three blood drives that St. Rita’s will be hosting this year and doctors are asking people who are healthy to donate to help others in the area.
