They have a phone number to call and check in if you need to schedule a slot. Whole blood is all I've ever done. But they are equipped to do other types of donations. It doesn't hurt like people might think. Ok...actually the worst part is when the peel off a couple inches of tape and "wax" some hair on my wrist. But it's not a problem at all. Simple snacks are a right of passage once you've donated. Don't hesitate to do this if you're eligible. I tend to have slightly high iron so a blood-letting is actually prescribed every 8 weeks. All joking aside....try it. It's easy.

While you're standing inline there is an employee that does nothing but stand at the front counter and does nothing except tapping on the counter watching the line. I arrived at 7:10 and didn't get through the check in line until 8:30....there were only 4 people ahead of me. There was only one employee checking everyone in which takes about 5 minutes. However new donors with a fast pass go ahead of the line. The management seems to careless about how long it takes to get through the line or out the door. They walk around without jumping in to help when needed. IT MAKES YOU FEEL UNAPPRECIATED AS A CUSTOMER! The ladies that are the heart and soul of the place are Excellent! They get you stuck and taken care of as quickly as they can. Brandi, Keesha, Dee and the rest are under appreciated from what I see! Bottom line is have plenty of time on your hands when you go to donate because most of the employees are not in a rush to get you through the system! I also researched for someone to contact about the time and to recommend a solution at corporate and there was no phone number or email!

I've been donating for years. I came in today, everything began as normal. Then there was a high…read morepressure alarm I'd never seen. The attendant tried adjusting the needle, blood spattered on both of us but it began flowing again. Then a second time. This time she couldnt get it resolved. Second, senior attendant came over to adjust the needle and actually made it worse, so bad that I was in immediate pain. She simply taped it back in place, told the other attendant to switch arms and just left me there in pain. First attendant stuck second arm and things began moving again. Half way through I get a no flow alarm. The attendant tries to resolve, unsuccessfully. She asks for help from second, senior attendant to no avail. Eventually this evolves to another high pressure alarm. First again asks second for help. Second makes no effort to come over and instead tells her that's it, to stop and give me saline and I'm finished. First has issues with equipment and asked for direction. Second yells something from across the room. It doesn't work. Finally first crips my line, blood still in the line and without me receiving any saline, removes the needle and wraps me up. They tell me to drink a gallon of water the night before next time, as if this were entirely my fault. Second then proceeds to direct first to only give me half pay. My left arm is wrecked. It feels like second went in and through my vein. There was tremendous pain involved today that no one attempted to even apologize for. I had blood all over both arms. My right arm is now bandaged up as well. Either the equipment malfunctioned or there was operator error involved to where I didn't even receive saline back into my system. Then they imply basically that this entire thing is my fault. All this in addition to my time, and my compensation is now being docked by 50%. I don't think this is okay. Particularly when I've been coming on and off for over three years.

Indiana Blood Center is part of a regional consortium that secure donated blood and blood products…read morefrom volunteers and distribute to hospitals and medical centers to use for various medical emergencies and patient treatment regimens. IBC maintains several regional locations around the state, and extends donation opportunities through mobile operations and blood drives. I've given blood at various times in my life, but a few years ago when a family member needed a blood transfusion, it motivated me to become a regular donor. Donation options include whole blood, which is the fastest and easiest procedure. If you have more time, IBC also has apheresis procedure to collect platelets, double red cells, or plasma. Indiana Blood Center maintains a robust user interface on www.donorpoint.org where you can schedule donations at a blood center or blood drive. The staff are friendly and offer plenty of free snacks and drinks after a donation session.

This place was decent back in early 2024. The staff used to be careful with your veins, even if the…read morewait times were horrendous. However, the quality of care has plummeted. The staff has become increasingly incompetent, with inexperienced technicians who jab your arm blindly. When they fail to get a proper flow, they simply blame it on the donor having 'bad veins.' I returned today after recovering from the flu, only to have two inexperienced techs repeatedly probe my vein. Even when the machine alerted them of a poor flow, their only solution was to jab me further. I eventually had to refuse when they tried to move to my left arm. To make matters worse, they seem to have changed their pay structure. Compensation used to be for your time, but now it seems to be based solely on the volume collected. Last year, a technician blew my vein and caused a severe hematoma (see attached pictures). You're better off doing DoorDash than letting these 'pretend' technicians play with your health.

I have…read morerecommended them for years to friends and colleagues, however currently, they are a horribly mismanaged operation. They are severely understaffed and and that creates horrible wait times for donors. You are required to make an appointment for donations, no problem. When you show up at your pre-determined appointment time you may still have a two hour wait just to be able to get in and donate. In fact you might even check in just to be sent back to your car to wait for a phone call, so that you can come in and wait in line. But yes you had to have that appointment, that means absolutely NOTHING. To make matters worse, they have multiple front office personnel, and nurses walking around that are either unable to or unwilling to step in and help speed the process along. The staff on the floor is great as always but when it takes two hours to get out to the floor it is ridiculous. The management needs to take a look at what is going on because their current procedures are idiotic.

This was very hard for me. I really don't like needles and shots! I walked in the door and told…read morethem I needed someone who will be gentle with me. So why did I go??? I kept hearing my co worker talking about how her daughter's life was saved by a blood transfusion. She donates regularly for this very reason. I usually don't pick up when they call but this time I did and I booked my appointment on the spot. Everyone was very nice and patient with me. There was several signs with testimonials about how they were saved or their child was saved. So I knew I was doing the right thing. I won't lie and say it didn't hurt cause it did. But it was worth it if I am able to save a life. Did I mention the snack bar?? After your donation you are advised to sit and eat a snack before you leave. Consider donating......it can save a life.
