Hospital hoops are not quite what Dalton Brown is used to though basketball remains on his mind as he battles cancer.

LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – The best kept secret in town is that MEDIC is in town.  MEDIC is set up in the cafeteria at the former West La Follette School and is there today from 9 am until 5 pm.  MEDIC will be back at the same location on Friday from 9 am until 5 pm, and we’ll let you know if they are returning on Saturday.

For those of you wishing to donate for Dalton Brown, this is the ideal opportunity.  All you need to do when you check in is say that you are donating for Dalton Brown.  You can park right beside the door, walk right in and then walk right back out about a half-hour later.  So far, there’s been no waiting.
