    I wish I would have taken a picture when it got really bad because it almost took up my whole arm. Please avoid this place. It's always a problem with this location

    I was a first time donor and the appointment did take almost 3 hours to complete, but I knew it could take that long or longer.

    I wrote this review on 2-26-11 but I think I put it on the wrong business page. I've continued to…read morebe impressed by this location of Heartland Blood Centers. Here is the review: Wow! 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!

    Most of us will NEED blood products at some point in our lives, but not enough donate. It's so EASY…read more(says the girl who used to nearly faint at the sight of needles and blood)! 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!

It's very humbling, because donation doesn't always happen that way. In my opinion, it's another cool thing about donating blood/blood products: of course your donation will help others, but there might be one particular person who relies on your donation. What are you waiting for?! Become a regular donor if you are able! It's an easy way to help others!

First , i have been to several different Heartland locations and none of them seem to have their shit together to be honest. One mobile center turned my mom and I away bc they didnt want to stay overtime. Another mobile station made us wait an hour AFTER our appointment to even get us started then took a woman ahead of us bc she "had to pick up her son" . This time took the cake. I have O negative blood and i know its in high demand , they tell me every time I go and get emails and text to remind me . The nurse told me my blood goes to babies so i make sure to go every 8 weeks to make sure i give them blood. Last appointment was fine, the girl at the front even asked if we wanted to schedule our next appointment. Well sure so we dont forget to do it why not? July 6th at noon was in the books. My mom and i left at 11:15 to make sure just in case we hit traffic or construction and got there at exactly 12:00 . I gave her my license and she said you both arent due till July 10th. Ummm say what agAin?!? I told her, no that cant be bc the girl who was here made the appt for us . One of the nurses came over to explain its bc we had an extra vile of red blood cells blah blah blah ! I then said, and how is that my fault or problem? They said sorry( not in a very apologetic tone) and we can switch you to the 10th. HA!! Umm how about NO ?!? I said, we drove 45 min to get here to drive 45min back home and waste our time bc of something YOU did? Sure wait by the phone and we will call you! We left and as we drove back to my house i said to my mom, they werent very sorry and hello they need US we dont need them. Not even a free pint of ice cream for the inconvenience bc again this was THEIR fault. Im done w them and never giving blood through Heartland again. Save yourself the headache and go through somewhere else

I…read morefinally have all my levels at a good number and made an appointment at the donation center to donate. Though this was my 13th time donating, I had never gone into an actual Lifesource Donation Center. Lifesource is in a strip mall full of good eating spots (hint: eat at one of them after donating)! There is a ton of parking and the lady who handled me the entire time was very nice. She explained things thoroughly, took her time and handled my donation so smoothly I had zero pain, discomfort or after effects. Be sure to fill out the Donor Pass questionnaire online prior so you don't waste your time going over the questions in person. All you then have to do is scan the paper and you'll easily shave 10 minutes off your time. The chairs were very comfortable and the music playing was fun. I chilled and texted for about 15 minutes while my pint of vampire food drained out of me. Once you're done, you have to sit & wait for another 15 minutes so they can make sure you're in good health before sending you off. While you're "recovering" you can choose from 3 juice flavors, pretzels, Oreos, and a few other snack items. Donating blood is one of the easiest ways a human can help another! It will take less than an hour of your time and you may just save a life. DO IT!

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.

I would not recommend anyone to go there! and by the way I may be over 70 but I am very healthy and a lot of what I saw come through the doors was questionable.
