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.
Local Treasure: Tom Gettelfinger

Tom Gettelfinger is possessed of a curiosity that has taken him to extraordinary places, not the least of which is his home on the bluff overlooking Tom Lee Park.
âThis is a very harsh environment down here, going from a hundred degrees to minus 10, and sometimes winds come in and blow rain,â he says. âItâs pretty harsh.â
You might be forgiven if you looked closely at him to see if he was kidding. He is one of the original residents of the Riverbluff Cooperative and has a view to the west of the Mississippi River, all the barges thereon, Arkansas, and sunsets. And he can look right down onto Tom Lee Park, which further means heâs witnessed almost every one of the Beale Street Music Festivals and enjoyed the aroma of the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contests for decades.

FRIDAY, Dec. 18, 2020 (HealthDay News) Recipients of kidneys from donors infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) have similar kidney allograft function and probability of rejection in the first year after transplantation as those who receive kidneys from donors without HCV infection, according to a study published online Dec. 14 in the
American Journal of Kidney Diseases.
Miklos Z. Molnar, M.D., Ph.D., from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, and colleagues retrospectively reviewed kidney allograft function and allograft biopsy findings for 65 HCV-negative recipients who received a kidney from an HCV-infected donor (HCV+) and 59 HCV-negative recipients who received a kidney from a donor without HCV infection (HCV−) during 2018 at a single transplant center.
