MEDIC Regional Blood Center partners with Eddie Check for PSA Testing
MEDIC is teaming up with Eddie Check again this year to offer free PSA testing to men over 40, on Sept. 7-8 at Donor Centers and Mobile Drives and AEL locations.
All donors will receive a special edition T-shirt and coupons for Texas Roadhouse, Salsarita’s, Papa John’s, Smoothie King, Petro’s, and Dunkin.
Appointments are always encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome.
Appointments can be made by calling 865-524-3074 or visiting medicblood.org.
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.
As a reminder, the blood, platelets, and plasma products on the shelves now are 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. Demand remains high while donations have been low this summer.
MEDIC is an independent, nonprofit organization. Products donated through MEDIC truly 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.
Those products are shipped out of the area and nationally.
