Medic Regional Blood Center
Medic was established in 1958 by Carl Nelson, MD, under the sponsorship of the Knoxville Academy of Medicine. Area physicians supported the independent, not-for-profit blood center because they wanted a source of blood from volunteer donors, and they desired centralization of blood collection, testing and distribution. Medic's operational and capital costs are financed by blood supplier processing fees charged to hospitals. Medic must collect blood from 250 - 300 donors every day of the work week in order to supply hospitals. Medic is the only U.S. blood center which has a Blood Coverage Program covering members' blood supplier processing fees at any hospital in the country. Medic is an accredited member of the American Association of Blood Banks. The center adheres to the blood product safety regulations established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is licensed by the FDA and the State of Tennessee.
