They are able to get through countless donors in an orderly, timely manner, and I always feel safe as a participant. Some people may complain about being turned away/ not being eligible, but I feel as if it is a positive thing that the staff would inform you that donations wouldn't be accepted if your health doesn't fall into compliance. The payout for plasma is decent, and there seems to always be bonuses. If an individual donated every week for a month, they could easily earn up to $400+ dollars. Donating plasma, while it takes longer than donating whole blood, is much needed in the Pittsburgh area. For this reason, benefits go far beyond the financial gains! The one reservation is their faulty information/scheduling system. It's easy to use, however, finding the link in the first place can be difficult. For this reason, I've included the appointment schedule link for returning donors below: https://booknow-grifolseast.appointment-plus.com/yv1r10p8/

My workplace was offering CPR/AED and First Aid training and certification through the Red Cross…read more I decided to volunteer as a representative of the company. I honestly didn't realize how expensive these training classes are without the funding from my company. However, they see the benefit in having several employees certified in case of an emergency. The class took up the better part of a day and consisted of classroom training, hands on training IE mouth to mouth resuscitation on the torso "dummies" along with proper procedures on how to operate the AED machines, and some roleplaying with other volunteers. I found the instructor to be incredibly informative and engaging. She certainly maintain a level of competency, and kept the classroom structure flowing from one topic to the next. We covered a lot of ground in those 6 or so hours. Everything from preforming CPR, and all the steps surrounding the act itself, to the proper use of a defibrillator, how to handle a person in shock, breathing emergencies, diabetic emergencies, seizures, strokes, muscle, bone and joint injuries, concussions, environmental emergencies, anaphylactic reactions, chocking procedures, poisoning, burns, and bleedings. I will say after all that I have a new found respect for those in the medical community, and other lay responders. There are many steps to help determining and intervening in an emergency situations but a lot of it comes down to common sense, and observation. I am happy I had the opportunity to take this class and now am knowledgeable of how to react in an emergency situation, I still really hope I never have to! Great class, just wish it was a little more affordable for the classes if you were taking them without financial support.
