Earlier this year Anderson's teenage son, Alan, was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident. Alan required several units of blood and lost part of a leg. He is now convalescing at home. Because the Anderson family holds a Medic membership, costs associated with supplying the blood are paid by Medic. Because of Medic and those who donate regularly, blood was available when Alan Anderson needed it.
Medic membership is available in exchange for donating blood.
For more information, Knoxville employees can call Medic at 524-3074 or stop by on Thursday at the blood drive.
