When I lived in Brentwood Forest the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center did a drive at the clubhouse there. It was one of the best experiences I had giving blood. Since then I've regularly given at the Crestwood location. It is easy to schedule an appointment, the staff are friendly, and there are the best snacks! I love it. You also get little mini rewards (pins, grocery bags, shirts) as you hit different benchmarks in giving blood. If you give blood in St. Louis I highly recommend doing it here.

I've been donating with impact life for 5 years now and usually I have a great experience but this…read moretime wasn't great compared to others. I came in for my appointment and was taken back immediately but the phlebotomist wasn't very friendly. I wasn't informed about when she was going to stick me and wasn't given the sheet where I was told my vital signs and the number to contact should anything go wrong. When I donate I sometimes get light headed and I did this time. She was prompt at helping me feel better but once I was done I wasn't told about what I need to do afterwards, and like I said before the number to call if anything were to go wrong. I have donated a lot now so I know those things but every time I have donated in the past the phlebotomist has told me what to do after the fact. Everyone has bad days and my overall experience with impact life is good so this was nothing that would detour me from coming back here, but I think in the future I will go to the mobile drives over the donor center. if I do go back to the donor center I'll make sure to update my review!

I'm a regular at this location and I've donated plasma plenty of times but have never been in serious pain. Some normal discomfort as the needle goes in, sure. But not like this. I think it hit some sort of nerve or something because it kept feeling like the needle was vibrating and it gave me a nails on the chalkboard kind of feeling. My arm was already bruised before they even wrapped it up and my whole arm is sore and hurting. Awful experience!

***News Flash*** Starting December 7th, (really? Of all…read moredays) Corporate CSL has decided to take MORE of your plasma AND pay you LESS! They used to have a 3-tiered structure to pay you for your plasma based on your weight. Now, they have gone to a 5-tiered pay structure based on your weight AND Now Height. I have made over 500 donations with them and now they are doing this? Folks, it's all in the name of corporate greed AND (to use that disgusting business world phrase) "to enhance shareholder value." So their new motto, paying you less AND taking more from you. For the center I use in St. Louis, I give a rating of 4 out of 5 which I have done before and still do. My beef is with the corporate level decisions they make and this latest one is the reason for the 1 rating. Donating now will be less of a priority than it was before today. I will also check out the competition. I'm sure most other long- time and loyal donors will be doing the same thing. Give more, Get less! sick, Sick, SICK!!!

Their set up looks like the Crestwood location. Staff is always friendly. I didn't rate as high because they never took the defer off me from my first visit they were suppose to. I also suggest making sure you're hydrated and eat a good meal prior. Make sure you get plenty of rest the night before. Tuesdays and Fridays are busy. I didn't take photo inside as patients are inside. It's very spacious and there is WiFi. They have sign up bonuses as they barely opened up earlier in December.
