    This place has recently been renamed Valiant but when you search for blood donation centers, both…read morewill come up. This place is clean, has a small parking lot, and runs efficiently. I did have trouble making an appointment online, but called and got one scheduled however they also take walk ins. Checkin is self initiated, with lots of sanitizer available, and then a series of tables and chairs to wait at. Right now with the need for blood, it was definitely busy but the staff was very apologetic and continued servicing each donar with speed. I've given blood many times with many centers and I was very impressed with their response when I passed out after donating casually eating my crackers. They swooped me up, got me in a wheel chair quickly with lots of ice packs and settled into a bed. Shout out to Denise who managed my vitals, got my head and lip checked out, then gave all the info to my husband to take me home after clearing it with the rest of the staff. They then called the next day to check on me. I felt really comfortable with this location and the staff that was working enough to go back. She let me know to tell them I had an incident before and they would take extra precautions. I'm happy I could give blood to support those who need it and have so many wonderful people and places to take on that job. Recommend this establishment.

    I honestly never thought I'd be motivated to rate a blood donation center 5 stars, but I was…read moreincredibly impressed with my experience at Lifesource. I got in, got checked in right away- we went through all my medical history questions (after checking my blood to make sure my iron levels were high enough to donate) and everything else went incredibly smoothly. Everyone on the staff was informative, friendly and helpful. They said they're in the most need for red cells, so if you're getting that itch to do some good for the world, consider donating red cells -- though of course while blood, platelets and plasma are graciously accepted as well. They make sure you're ok after you donate by asking you to have a snack and wait a few minutes. Really, I felt like they did everything right. Donating full blood took me about 8 minutes. Hoping to go back in 8 weeks (the mandatory waiting period). And you should too.

    This is a two part review. As far as the blood draw and donating, they were great. I have to go…read moreweekly for my draws and Leticia is the person that works with me. She is fantastic. 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.
