For a woman to donate platelets, she must never have been pregnant. Thus most platelet donors are men. It takes about 1.5 hours to donate platelets. Much less to donate blood. Workers are nice, competent, laid back, and environment is peaceful.

Didn't happen. They infiltrated my arm with blood and saline and a week later recommended I seek medical care. Are they going to pay for that Dr. visit to make sure my arm is ok, that there's no nerve damage or trapped fluid. Short answer no. Obviously I wont go back there neither should you. Now I feel bad they have some good people there who treated me well the first 3 times I went. I guess they need to figure out how to properly respond and treat people when one of their staff makes a mistake.

My blood pressure was probably too high to give anyway by this time. They really angered me this time and I may never come back!!!!!

I booked the class via phone, the CSR was really helpful and efficient in booking the class and providing the information about the course. After paying and confirming my info she said I would get a receipt email and another with access info into the account since there is the online class portion that must be completed before going in person for the second half. I did get the receipt but not the account info, I reached out to their online CSR, they sent a reset password email to help access the account. The online class is pretty informative and can take anywhere from 3-4 hours to complete. There are seven modules in total. For the in person class, it is recommended that you show up 15 minutes before to check in and bring the email or print the proof of your online completed class. The instructor was very helpful and taught efficiently to help deepen one's knowledge and put into practice what one has learned from the online portion. The class was 2.15 hours and went by quickly. Highly would recommend whether it is for work purposes or in general for being prepared for emergencies. Also it's fun to do it with a family member or friend so you can be partners :)

It's beyond comprehension to find the love that was exhibited to Linda and I from the Elkhart General Hospital ICU staff, the Indiana University Medical center ICU staff and all their wonderful people from the valet parking to the 6th floor. These are incredible loving people. Linda loved every one of them. She had special names for all of her caregivers, she loved them so much. A special, special, special thanks to our ever so loving church friends that stood by Linda in her time of need and me in my time of sorrow. Your love is beyond belief. An ever so humble Thank you to Jack and Karen Rorie our pastor and wife at The Sanctuary church in Osceola, IN. In the most critical time of Linda's sickness they spent 3 nights sleeping on chairs in the waiting room in their concern for my precious lady, what awesome love. And Nina, Joe, Bob, Jane, Sue, Floyd, Gwen and the Sharp family a special thanks for your help in time of need. God bless you all for your amazing loving care. Thank You, Roger King

Linda was also really nice. Glad I didn't give up after the first center, Whole different vibe. Plan on going regularly.
