Additionally, MEDIC is offering a limited number of appointments. Those can be made online at www.medicblood.org using the donate link. Appointments can also be made by calling 865-524-3074.CCP donors will need to complete a pre-screening process and make an appointment.
WHY: MEDIC Regional Blood Center continues to see an increased demand for several blood types and a decrease in donations. The product shortage is nation-wide.
As a reminder, the blood on the shelves now is 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.
OTHER: Donors this week will receive a special edition MEDIC shirt along with a $10 e-gift card, Texas Roadhouse coupon and Salsarita’s $5 coupon.
Next week, donors will receive a special edition Orange and Blue Shirt along with a $10 e-gift card, Texas Roadhouse coupon and Salsarita’s $5 coupon.
