The American Red Cross is facing a severe blood shortage as requests from hospitals exceed the available supply of blood, leading to about a 35% drawdown of blood products in the past month. Individuals are urged to give now so patients don’t face delays in lifesaving care. The shortage is especially serious for platelets and types O, A negative and B negative blood.

All donors will receive a $15 e-gift card from the American Red Cross as well as complimentary A1C results.

River's Edge Hospital is hosting a Blood Drive on March 3, 2026, in partnership with the American Red Cross. Please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or click the link below to schedule an appointment. https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=St%20Peter%20Community

Get to know Dr. Jesse Botker, Orthopedic Surgeon and Sports Medicine Specialist at OFC with over 15 years of experience serving our patients and community.

For Dr. Botker, the most rewarding part of his job is helping patients and athletes return to active, pain-free lifestyles and perform at a high level. Many patients come to him searching for answers, and being able to guide them with a skillset built through years of training and experience is what makes his work meaningful. The greatest honor, he says, is when patients return or refer their family and friends, trusting him with their care.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Botker enjoys staying active and busy. You might find him wake surfing, weightlifting, smoking meat on his Traeger, attending concerts with his wife, hunting, or cheering on his daughters at their sporting events. And as a Vikings season ticket holder, he is well acquainted with the ups, downs, and annual heartbreak of football season. 😉

What Dr. Botker enjoys most about working at OFC is the people. From the teams at OFC to Mankato Surgery Center, Rivers Edge Hospital, and Windom Area Health, he values the collaboration and relationships that make each day enjoyable. “I love my job and look forward to every day,” he shares.

Dr. Botker believes OFC’s strength lies in delivering top-level care with everything handled under one roof. With an exceptional team of surgeons and staff, patients are treated like family. Our long-standing recognition and awards reflect that commitment.

He is also proud to see Performance Lab - Powered by OFC come to life after more than a decade-long vision. Led by Landon and his team, Performance Lab delivers an unparalleled sports performance experience that continues to elevate care at OFC.
