    (Para español lea abajo) In this nonprofit place, if you…read moredon't read a big document in English they give you before donating, they won't let you donate blood. I took a freind this morning that cant read english and that is what i was told. I asked for a Spanish translation of the document and they said we dont have it in Spanish. So then I proceded to read and interpret the document to my my friend and immediately was told that she needed to read it herselfe, not me. I explained again that she couldn't read English and they said, sorry it our policy. ( I said they, because there were 3 persons behind the counter and they all took turns in responding to us, never smiling or apologising.) I asked if they had an interpreter and they said yes, but added that even the interpreter was not allowed to read and explain it to her. My freind and I were very disapointed and left. I even called their main office in Missouri and was told the same. So my freind called the American Red Cross in Roger's and immediately was provided with an interperter that took care of her with a super sweet attitude and made her an appointment to donate next week in Lowell. After that my freind said to me, "there are always good people in this community. " Remember she wasn't asking for anything, she was just trying to give a owrsinsl something precious gift to our community. Español En este lugar sin fines de lucro, si no puedes leer un extenso documento en inglés que te dan antes de donar, no te dejan donar sangre. Esta mañana llevé a una amiga que no sabe leer inglés y eso es lo que me dijeron. Pedí una traducción al español del documento y me dijeron que no lo tenían en español. Entonces procedí a leer e interpretar el documento a mi amiga e inmediatamente me dijeron que ella tenía que leerlo por sí misma, no yo. Volví a explicarles que ella no sabía leer inglés y me dijeron que lo sentían, pero que era su política. (Digo "ellos" porque había tres personas detrás del mostrador y se turnaban para respondernos, sin sonreír ni disculparse en ningún momento). Les pregunté si tenían un intérprete y me dijeron que sí, pero añadieron que ni siquiera el intérprete podía leerle y explicárselo. Mi amiga y yo nos quedamos muy decepcionadas y nos fuimos. Incluso llamé a su oficina central en Missouri y me dijeron lo mismo. Así que mi amiga llamó a la Cruz Roja Americana en Rogers y enseguida le proporcionaron un intérprete que la atendió con una actitud muy amable y le concertó una cita para donar la semana siguiente en Lowell. Después de eso, mi amiga me dijo: "Siempre hay gente buena en esta comunidad". Recuerda que ella no estaba pidiendo nada, solo estaba tratando de dar un regalo personal y precioso a nuestra comunidad.

    The nurse gave me a hematoma, and they originally only paid me 20 dollars. I brought this to the…read moreattention of the nurse on duty, and he assured me the remaining 60 would be sent to my account that day, but only 20 additional dollars were uploaded to my account. I should also mention that it's their policy that if they prick you, they pay you. So, I called, explained the situation, and the supervisor was very rude and argued with me, saying since I wouldn't go to my other arm, that was all the money I would receive. I explained to her that I wasn't in the condition to move to my other arm. I was visibly sweaty and extra sensitive to the lights in the room. On top of that, the blood was filling up where they stuck the needle under my skin, making a bubble, and I was in pain. After explaining this to her, she wouldn't budge, so I asked to talk to another supervisor. She huffed, then agreed, but forgot to mute me and told them I was yelling at her, to which I replied, "Yelling is a very strong word." She then muted me, and all they did was add an additional 20 dollars, making the total I received 60. I'm so annoyed that I didn't even call back, but I will more than likely never go back and will most definitely not recommend this place to friends. It's not worth dealing with the rude staff, and for people working in healthcare, they sure are bad at helping people and sticking needles.

    None of the staff is competent. I have given blood at other locations before and have never had as…read moremany issues as this one. The white haired older lady named Melissa should be fired for medical malpractice. She inserted the needle into my arm and missed the vein (after commenting how "juicy" and "prominent" the vein was. I wish I was joking.) she reinserted and missed again. She then called over another lady to readjust the needle. They finally got the machine to take my blood and my arm slowly began falling asleep until I couldn't feel it. Then the machine shut off and they couldn't get my blood back into my body. As you can imagine, missing an armful of blood is not a very great feeling and I had to ask multiple times to finally get something to drink, as the lights in the room were getting incredibly bright and I was on the verge of passing out. Some scruffy looking kid held the bottle full of my blood above his head in an attempt to siphon my own blood back into my arm. When this didn't work, he gave up and just pulled the needle out, getting blood on my white shirt in the process. I was told to wait only 5 minutes before I was released and never offered any drink or snack which is customary at these facilities. I am typing this in my car because I feel light headed and weak from blood loss and am unable to drive. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS Edit: I failed to convey that they adjusted the needle about 6 times, tearing my vein in the process and giving me a massive hematoma.

    This place needs some help with customer service. I observed some of the staff members speak down…read moreto clients. I have seen them roll their eyes and or shake their heads when clients ask reasonable questions. I have observed employees talking poorly about their job and the wait times are incredibly long. Be prepared for a minimum 3 hour process from the time you enter the doors. You're lucky if you get out sooner. My biggest complaint is the way some staff members treat their clients. Most people are donating because they need the money...no sense in kicking someone while they're down.
