Low rating for the shred of compensation you're given for each donation ($45). Before I moved the plasma center I donated at gave $100-150 for each donation. Wondering why they don't pay the same amount here as my old one also happened to be Grisfol owned.

The location has easy parking. The office is bright and clean. The second part is really a shout-out to the staff. While I was in for my last draw, a homeless man can in. He was polite and requested to use the phone as he was homeless and wanted to call his family for some assistance. It was 95f outside. He showed some signs of dehydration. The manager of the facility came out and said, of course. He used the phone, said thank you. The staff offered him some cold water bottles before he left. They also called 911 as they were worried about his safety. Police arrived shortly after to just check him out. They called the EMTs to check him as well and we were able to see that they took him to the hospital. Many places would have just said No and told the person to go elsewhere. The staff at this location really showed they cared about the people and their community.

Every time I walk in the door I get greeted by name with a smiling face. It also helps that they are very skilled with the needles and I have never had a negative experience with the insertion or withdrawal. If you want to do an amazing thing by donating blood or what I recommend- PLATELETS :) this is the place to do it!

Needles are not my thing, but I feel as if it is important to donate when possible. The Lake Bluff…read moreVitalant staff is very efficient and professional. I always feel welcomed when I enter the facility. One of their weaknesses (at least from my last experience) is needle entry. When the needle was inserted into my arm, it hurt a lot, and it's not supposed to. After a couple of minutes of poking around my arm and shifting the needle, I was bandaged up and told I wasn't able to donate that day because my vein deflated (this was on me, didn't eat enough or drink enough beforehand) . They do a great job of taking care of patients who are anxious, but when my entire sleeve ended up covered in blood (bent my arm after it was bandaged up to pick up my bag), I was in shock. I had never had an experience like this, but the staff was very compassionate and understanding. Although I'm a bit scared to donate platelets/blood/plasma again, I would still go to this location (with more food on my stomach and well hydrated) :)

Lots of snacks available and good after-care instructions. Already scheduled my next donation for June. Check them out, save a life.
