Sadly some moms are not able to produce their own breastmilk, and that's where MMB comes in. Lactating women (they are screened, in a way similar to blood donors) donate their breastmilk to the bank (self-collection is done in the home), where it is pasteurized and tested. After the pasteurization process and lab testing, donor breastmilk is sent primarily to local Neonatal Intensive Care Units. Some out-of-state hospitals also receive donor breastmilk for their NICUs. It's a great organization and if you happen to be in a position to help, you could make a difference in a newborn's life.

WARNING: Unsafe medical practices and faulty equipment. Please read this before donating at this…read moreJacksboro Highway location. I had a terrifying medical emergency here due to a complete failure of basic safety, untrained staff, and broken equipment. Needle Mistake: The phlebotomist rushed my stick and completely missed my vein. When the machine started throwing error codes, a floor supervisor came over. Dangerous Fishing Maneuver: Instead of taking the needle out and doing a clean re-stick, the supervisor aggressively dug and scraped the needle inside my arm for 20 to 30 seconds trying to save the line. Sensory Blackout: This physical trauma caused my blood pressure to crash instantly. I completely lost my sight and hearing, trapping me in a terrifying greyout state of unconsciousness for 3 to 5 minutes. Non-Existent Emergency Equipment: When you faint, medical protocol requires the staff to immediately lay you flat or tilt your legs up to get blood back to your brain. The donor chairs at this legacy facility are completely outdated and cannot recline. Negligent First Aid: Because the chairs are outdated and stuck in an upright position, gravity kept the blood pooled in my legs, actively starving my brain of oxygen. Instead of performing actual physical first aid to restore blood flow, the staff just stood there and eventually handed me a drink (which you cannot even swallow safely while upright during a blackout due to risk of aspiration). Aftermath: Because they left me vertical during a multi-minute blackout, my body could not recover normally. I was left with profound physical exhaustion, cold sweats, and a pounding, severe headache for the rest of the day. This center is operating with outdated infrastructure that lacks mandatory emergency features to protect donors. The floor staff is severely undertrained and does not know how to manage a medical crash. I have officially filed a formal safety and operational violation report with the FDA regarding this facility's equipment and training failures. PROTECT YOUR HEALTH AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
