BlueCross Foundation providing $250,000 to Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. The BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Foundation is giving $250,000 to Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee to help meet the needs of community members affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This gift provides additional support following the $500,000 the foundation awarded to Second Harvest in March.
Food banks across the state have been facing increased demand since the onset of the
pandemic, as many Tennesseans turn to them for support. While many organizations have been able to sustain operations throughout 2020, donations are leveling off and the beginning of 2021 remains uncertain.

Middle Tennessee State University’s Board of Trustees endorsed Tuesday the creation of a master’s degree in physician assistant studies that could be offered as soon as summer 2022.
The governing board unanimously approved the recommendation from the Academic Affairs, Student Life and Athletics Committee following a report from committee chair, Trustee Pam Wright.
Provost Mark Byrnes said the program focuses upon one of the largest of the fastest growing occupational sectors in the region and aligns with the university’s goal to create additional pipelines from undergraduate major to graduate programs.
Only one other public university, the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, currently offers a master’s in physician assistant studies.
