Corpus Christi Medical Center CEO Accepts Lifesaving Award Doctors Regional places first in second annual Hospital Summer Showdown
 Corpus Christi Medical Center CEO, Jim Montgomery, accepted the Coastal Bend Blood Center’s “Blood Cup” on behalf of Doctors Regional for its win in the 2nd annual Hospital Summer Showdown blood drive competition.
This friendly competition challenged nine of the Coastal Bend Blood Center’s partner hospitals to have the highest percentage of participation during their regularly scheduled summer blood drives. Participating hospitals donated a total of 333 units between June 1st and July 31st, a 22% increase over the previous year. Doctors Regional took home first place with a total of 8.2% participation.
“Hospital employees see first hand how valuable our blood supply is,” said Erin Peterson, Director of Donor Development for the Blood Center. "We greatly welcome the opportunity to honor them for their commitment to the healthcare of our community."
Doctors Regional also took this opportunity to recognize one of its employees, Michael Gilley, who has been a committed blood donor and is approaching the six gallon mark for his donations.
