MEDIC O Negative Supply is Critically Low

WHO:
MEDIC Regional Blood Center
WHAT:
Critically Low O Negative Blood Type Inventory
Low O Positive Blood Type Inventory
WHEN:
Immediate Need
WHERE:
All donor centers and mobile drives
WHY:
Demand for O Negative and O Positive blood types has seen a significant increase

in the

last week. The O Negative inventory is now critically low with less than a 3-day

supply on

the shelves. The O Positive inventory is low with less than a 5-day supply.
Eligible donors are encouraged to donate as soon as possible. All O Negative and

O

Positive donors will receive a $25 e-gift card with their successful donation.
Appointments are not required but encouraged. Appointments can be made online
at www.medicblood.org, via the MEDIC app, or by calling 865-524-3074. Walk-ins
are welcome.
Donors can now complete the questionnaire before they arrive by going to
www.medicpass.org!

MEDIC is the primary blood product provider for 25 hospitals and air medical
transport services across 23 counties. MEDIC services Blount Memorial, Covenant
Health System, East TN Children’s Hospital, Tennova Healthcare, and UT Medical
Center.
As a reminder, the blood, platelets, and plasma products on the shelves now
are what would be used in a trauma event. Donated blood takes at least three
days to be processed and ready for distribution.
MEDIC is an independent, nonprofit organization. Products donated through MEDIC
help community members in East Tennessee and Southeastern Kentucky. Products
donated through any other collection activity/organization do not stay in East
Tennessee or Southeastern Kentucky. They are shipped out of the area and
nationally.

We are going to extend the sign up period until Monday November 24, 2025 at noon. We still have people signing up and I want to give everyone that wants to play the chance to play. This will give you an extra weekend to get them signed up. After Monday any late sign ups will go on a wait list unless we need those on teams to fill out rosters. Go to www.graingerparks.com to register online.
