MEDIC Regional Blood Center is Celebrating the Madness this Month

This month there are three campaign’s underway: Basketball-Themed Socks, Skip the Gift for Ronald McDonald House and E-Gift Cards for O Donors and Platelet Donors

Through March 31st, donors will receive a pair of basketball-themed socks. O Positive and O Negative donors will receive an e-gift card for donating. O donors receive $20 for whole blood donation or $25 for an ALYX/double red donation. Additionally, platelet donors receive a $25 e-gift card anytime they donate.

Want to give back to the community? Skip the socks and MEDIC will donate $5 to the Ronald McDonald House. Appointments can be made online at https://medicblood.org/ , via the MEDIC app, or by calling 865-524-3074.

MEDIC is the primary blood product provider for 25 hospitals in 23 counties including Blount Memorial, Covenant Health System, East TN Children’s Hospital, Tennova Healthcare, and UT Medical Center.

As a reminder, the blood, platelets, and plasma products on the shelves now are what would be used in a trauma event, and it takes at least three days for donated blood to be processed and ready for distribution.

MEDIC is an independent, nonprofit organization. Products donated through MEDIC truly help community members in East TN and Southeastern Kentucky. Products donated through any other collection activity/organization do not stay in East TN or Southeastern Kentucky. Those products are shipped out of the area and nationally.
