Medic’s September Promotions
September is a great time to donate blood. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Sicle Cell Awareness Month, and Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Both pediatric cancer patients and sicle cell patients need blood transfusions regularly. Medic Regional Blood Center has scheduled several events throughout the area during September to increase the supply. Men can receive a free PSA test on September 12th and 13th through the Eddie Check Program. Donors are encouraged to donate between September 16th through 20th during MEDIC’s annual UT versus Florida competition against LifeSouth Blood Center. The center collecting the most blood products wins bragging rights. Donors will receive a special edition t-shirt as well as other coupons. MEDIC is the primary blood product provider for 25 hospitals throughout East TN. Appointments can be made on line at www.medicblood.org, via the MEDIC app, or by calling 865-524-3074
