WHY: MEDIC, Jack and Jill of America, Inc., and other organizations are teaming up to host a blood drive on April 29, 2023, at Overcoming Believers Church.
100,000 Americans have Sickle Cell Disease and 1 in 3 African Americans are a match for a patient. These groups are working together to increase awareness of Sickle Cell Disease and the importance of blood donations.
All WB and ALYX donors will receive a $10 e-gift card for donating through Sunday. Donors will also receive a MEDIC t-shirt and Texas Roadhouse coupon.
MEDIC is the primary blood product provider for 24 hospitals in 22 counties including Blount Memorial, Covenant Health, 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.
