The collection supervisory team is on the ball in furthering training for those working on the collection floor here and really they do a great job juggling the staff, donors and or compliance needs which are far more than you would imagine. In my time donating here over 2018 and 2019, I never had a bad experience with my donation and it's process. The team - each phlebotomist I had take care of my donation did an exceptional job. I have had bad experiences where it feels like they needed to fish for my vein due to me not having enough water that day or being prepared myself for the physical act of donating, not once did I encounter an issue with the collections team at this site. They operate at a high level as a donor and I was blessed to see them do the same thing behind the curtain.

GO GIVE BLOOD and know that it's a brave and amazing gesture- you will save 3 lives!!
