Samantha Rux joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the upcoming blood drive at OSF Saint Luke Medical Center and the awards for patient care and energy efficiency OSF Saint Luke has received. OSF Saint Luke Medical Center is hosting a community blood drive on August 21, 2025, from 11 AM to 3 PM. Walk-ins are welcome, but those interested are encouraged to schedule an appointment online for convenience. The medical center recently earned a four-star rating from the National Rural Honor Roll, highlighting its commitment to quality care. However, reaching a five-star status requires 100 completed inpatient surveys from patients—a goal they’re still working towards. Community participation, both in the blood drive and by returning patient surveys, plays an essential role in helping Saint Luke achieve this prestigious recognition.
