Appointments are preferred. There is very limited availability for walk-in donors. Appointments can be made online at www.medicblood.org using the donate link or by calling 865-524-3074.
WHY: MEDIC Regional Blood Center continues to see a steady demand for several blood types but are not seeing the donors to meet that demand.
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. (See attached photo from 2.4.21)
OTHER: Donors will receive a MEDIC gift and coupon for a local restaurant.
