MEDIC continues to work to stabilize blood inventory and reward donors for their time this summer by drawing each day July 12 – 17 for a pair of Soaky Mountain Tickets.
MEDIC is the primary blood product provider for 24 hospitals in 22 counties including UT Medical Center, Covenant Health System hospitals, Tennova hospitals, Blount Memorial, and East TN Children’s Hospital.
As a reminder, the blood, platelets, and plasma products 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.

Downtown Knoxville – 1601 Ailor Avenue
Farragut – 11000 Kingston Pike

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.
