    This location is the best place to donate blood/platelets/plasma in Cleveland! I've been coming to…read morethis location exclusively for over two years now to donate blood every 2 months and donate platelets about every 3 months on average. The staff is top-tier, the snacks are abundant and varied (I stock up and fill my purse!), there is plenty of seating, comfy chairs, and of course, every platelet chair is hooked up so you can watch Netflix while you sit still and help save lives! Before I had to switch jobs last November and now no longer work in a hybrid role, I was here at least once a month. The staff all know me by name and after coming back after a 6 month absence, I was welcomed back with open arms!! Love it here!

    I am AB Positive so I regularly donate at the Red Cross Warzel Center. Located on the near East…read moreside of Cleveland they do a fantastic job of making the donation process as easy as possible. You can find the donation times online for blood, platelets and plasma. Once you are signed up they will send you reminders and the day of the donation you can do the Rapid Pass to save you time when you come in. Located on Euclid Ave. you get buzzed into the parking area, sign in to the building and then go to the donation area. The check in process is well run and efficient. Since they limit the number of appointments at a time there is no waiting around like you may encounter at some of the blood drives. The plasma donation works by taking your whole blood and then returning the platelets to you, so it takes about 1 hour from start to finish. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional. They take very good care of you and make sure that you are OK throughout the whole process. After you finish there is a nicely stocked snack area to get some sweets and beverages. Red Cross also offers some bonuses such as T-shirts, hats and gift cards at various times during the year. If you are looking for a great way to help others consider making regular Red Cross Blood, Platelets or Plasma donations. It is a great way to give of yourself.

People should respect donors time more. Just slow and inconsiderate. I see an older reddish woman sitting around doing nothing all the time. Workers arriving late. No mgr available at all today, how is that acceptable? No pride in their work these managers

The workers in the front were great and helped me through the process. When I was sent back to the donation area this is where the trouble started. The first woman ( lady with redish hair and a wide blue headband on her head) who came over to help me stuck me with the needle but was unable to get it correct and asked someone else to step in. The process started and it was fine until it stopped and the Second Lady ( Long braids , very helpful and friendly) came to see what the problem was. I guess the First Lady ( blue headband) set the machine up wrong and it was not returning the cells to me. Which resulted in me being DEFERRED for 56 days. I didn't do anything wrong and yet I'm the only one to be negatively impacted (Loosing out on $700) The manager called me back and was super unhelpful and unprofessional. So moral of the story donor beware go to bio life in mentor instead * note I did get the first donation amount of $100 however I was set to get $800 total for donating over the next 35 days which now I cannot do so I am loosing out on a part of income for something that I did not do. If you do go make sure to get the girl with long goddess braids and dragon tattoo on neck she's fantastic.

    MORTIFIED! That's what many people would be when publicly disclosing that they donated plasma for…read moremoney. I'm not those people. The process was pretty easy. Show up with a social security card, I.D., and proof of residence, answer some questions, watch a few videos, get your weight & blood pressure checked & you're in. The paperwork & videos are for first timers only & take about an hour. The plasma collection itself takes roughly another hour. Here's the process. You're seated in an upholstered reclining thing and a friendly phlebotomist inserts a port into your arm. The machine separates the plasma from the rest of your blood and gives you the balance back. The port isn't really painful, but it is a little uncomfortable. I was paid $100 for my time & plasma, which is well more than I make per hour at my job. This is an introductory rate, however, and the typical donation probably earns far less. How much less you ask? I don't know because the CSL website makes no mention of the typical rate. Closely guarded secret? Annoying. Afterwards: I didn't feel great. I was tired and hungry with a slight headache. Hangover isn't the right word for the symptoms, but it is def in the hangover family. No matter, a two hour nap took care of 90% of the feeling and I was 100% myself the next day. This is NOT something I'd recommend doing before work or on a day where you have important things to accomplish. Also, get there early and beat the rush. Unsurprisingly, regular plasma donors are NOT generally early risers. I'm going to do this again, as my next donation will also net me 100 clams for an hour sitting in a chair. After that, we'll see how far the compensation is reduced before I decide to return.

    These people will find or create any reason to not pay you or do their job. Absolute waste of 2…read morehours only to be deferred for "wheezing". Everything else came back perfect. These people will use the most arbitrary excuses to simply not do their job.

    My 5 star reviews only go out to Chelsea,and the manager SHAUN.and CHERITA The other problem is…read morethat All the managers, excluding SHAUN are locked in there office, not ever on the floor supervising staff. Dominique and the other girl always convesating with donors and using the "F" word.so by them doing that,some donors think it's ok to use profanity while talking, and not doing there job. This is a very serious being rude and showing no respect to others. I've donated twice a week for 10 years. Sorry, not anymore. I can't deal with employees fowl language every morning I'm there. No sense in telling them because they are not going to admit it. So this needs to be addressed to the entire staff when you have a meeting with all the staff.sincerely and respectfully submitted by Michael Giaimo.

The next two times was due to staffing issues; except these past two visits were months apart. That's wild imo, and I honestly can't see myself ever returning to try for a fourth time.
