TOMORROW (11/22) is the last day to donate as MEDIC competes against Kentucky Blood Center again in the 37th Orange and Blue Blood Drive. The event runs through Friday the 22nd, and the donor center collecting the most blood products in five days will take the trophy. MEDIC has lost to the Kentucky Blood Center in the last two years.

Significant Change for 2024: This year’s event is appointment only. Donors will receive a special edition hoodie and coupons for various local organizations. Sizing is first come, first served. Sizes are not guaranteed with an appointment. Appointments can be made online at www.medicblood.org, via the MEDIC app, or by calling 865-524-3074. MEDIC is the primary blood product provider for 26 hospitals in 23 counties, including Blount Memorial, Covenant Health System, East TN Children’s Hospital, Tennova Healthcare, and UT Medical Center.
