The lady had me checked in system at 3:09 for apt but mentioned that it might not let me check into kisok for donation today. Well sure enough I could not sign in as it said that a appointment had not been found for me. I understand that I was late but the system should be timed & synced properly. So unfortunately I lost $100 as it was supposed to be my 2bd donation of the week. I also lost out on the $50 frequency donation as Feb only had 28 days & I would of gotten it this past friday had I been allows to donate. I still plan to come here but I am just a little frustrated over this and would like to be somehow compensated for this still. Thanks Ron. To God Be The Honor, Glory & Praise.

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 have been donating for many years as it serves a purpose & a need. Life source is always looking for donors as there is always a need, so if you are able to you should donate. In my case the recipient of my platelets is person that is going through chemotherapy & is in need of platelet replacement to replenish the ones lost through the chemotherapy process. A few years ago Life source started a point system for whole blood, double red blood and platelets. You can accumulate points for donating & redeem them for debit cards that can be used for whatever. As you can see this is a WIN WIN situation. You are providing blood or platelets for Life Source & people in need & being rewarded for doing so. PLEASE DONATE TO A WORTHY CAUSE.

I have never given blood before, and I was pretty anxious about it. The wonderful staff at Heartland Blood Centers in Winfield made the experience so positive I am actually looking forward to going back and donating again (which I never ever expected). I tried last week and they (Crystal- so nice) told me they couldn't let me do it because I had a headache. They were nice about it and explained that it might not be safe for the recipient of my blood (because I could be developing a cold or flu) and might also exacerbate my headache if I went through with it. I appreciated how careful and professional they were about it. This is serious business. I went back today and was able to donate. I was so impressed by everyone working- they were patient, friendly, informative, professional, positive, likable and careful. They made me feel important and special. It was such a positive and caring place to be. I was really surprised. Make sure if you have never done this before to bring a list of all out of country travel you have done in the past three years. You will also need your photo ID. Make sure you've had a good meal about two hours before going and that you've had a lot to drink in the days leading up to going. They have you read some information, fill out a form, and then take you into a room to ask you questions and go over your information. They take your blood pressure, temperature, and then do a finger prick to check your iron level. If all looks good they take you to the donation chair and explain everything thoroughly. I didn't think that it hurt at all. The regular whole blood donation only took about 8-9 minutes. They kept checking in with me making sure I was OK. After you're done and you sit in the chair a bit with your arm raised they let you go sit in the waiting area and drink and eat snacks. I love snacks :) so this made me very happy. They have a great selection. They have rewards programs you can get involved with. They said they'll let me know after they test my blood if everything is OK. I guess you can donate every 8 weeks or so. The other thing I thought was cool is that my husband has been donating blood for years at another Heartland Blood Centers location in Westmont, and just came with me for moral support. They treated him super well too, offering him snacks and drinks, and that made me feel good that they were so nice to him. My husband was really impressed with this location too- he kept saying, "Wow, she (Chaz) was really good.) I guess I could go on and on. I just never thought it would be such a positive experience. I highly recommend this location!

If *I* can do it, you can, too. Trust me. I'm now a Heartland (Bloomingdale) regular, but recently had to cancel one of my Saturday appointments. Luckily Winfield and Aurora are open on Sundays so I could still get in when I felt better! Location (because Google Maps liiiied to me!): In the same strip mall as Prairie Path Cycle at the intersection of County Line and Geneva Roads. The staff, as always, is AMAZING, and the facility is homey. There are magazines, a little play/activity area for the kiddies, and TVs in view for donors. Snacks include Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies, which is kind of a big deal. FYI: Naperville, Joliet, and DeKalb will soon be open every OTHER Sunday! Soo, if you can't get in to donate during the week, know you can donate on the weekends! Please, if you're eligible: give the gift of life-saving blood products!

Staff was also friendly, calming, and efficient.  Last time i gave blood was on an old bus, which im pretty sure was legit but they accidentally yanked out the needle, blood got everywhere, and i had to switch arms. No such mishaps this time, just lost the intended amount.  My wife had us fill out the versipass beforehand last time, which I forgot to do this time and had to wait longer, would recommend you do that. https://www.versiti.org/versipass/illinois  After you have the forms filled out, they poke your finger to test your blood, have you lie down in the chair, rub some stuff on your arm to find the best vein, and start the blood sucking. Whole process takes around 30 mins to an hour depending on versipass, and what type of blood you give. Then they have chips, brownies, and juice for you to snack on before you leave. Regardless, you'll be fine, you'll live, the people that need blood may not.
