I donate whole blood and the whole process takes an hour from checking in to finish. I recommend completing the Rapidpass online to save some time. Once you check in you wait in the waiting area for your name to be called. Then they take you into a back room and ask some of the same questions as the Rapidpass. Next, they do a fingerstick to check your hemoglobin and get a full set of vitals (pulse, blood pressure, temperature). After donating blood, they offer you snacks and sometimes a free shirt. The only downside is that parking can be tough to find. I recommend coming on a Sunday when it's less busy and to get the free meter parking.

I have gone to various places over the years and the MGH Blood Donor Center is pretty much the best. They provide free parking, the process is so streamlined, you are out in no time and the workers there are skilled. NO PAIN! Plus free t shirts and treats after! Hospitals are in chronic need of blood so really, it's everyone's duty to donate!

You have to have certain numbers for heart rate blood pressure and iron in your blood which they do all tests before you can donate. I've given whole blood here but what I usually donate is blood platelets it's more needed according to staff and you can donate I believe every week or so unlike whole blood which takes longer although I forget exact length of time. Once you read and sign forms have those tests done you're ready to go. They have these curved padded chairs which are very comfortable there's TV's u can control and if u get cold blankets. Like I said I do Platelets and it usually takes about an hour and a half I stay on long enough to make Platelets for 2 people I guess I'm fortunate for some reason i have lots of Platelets I think single donations are about an hour but everyone's different. Although I don't like needles I donate because I know it'll help someone and I'm not rich to donate enough money to make a difference but I do have blood and I always feel better after donating it's a good feeling. They validate parking for you so parking is free

They have snacks, drinks, blankets, and entertainment for when you do long hours. You get paid $25 for the initial screening on-site to see if you qualify to be a donor regardless of the outcome for your time. The staff are friendly and helpful! The pay is good for those who need extra cash and it's all for a good cause too!

The staff is friendly and welcoming from the moment you step in. Mobilized white blood cell donation requires two long 3.5 hour sessions and they did everything they could to keep me comfortable so I could complete each session. I live 20 minutes from Quincy and they even paid for my Ubers. Would highly recommend signing up with them if you are looking to make extra cash.

(Not sure I'll do marrow again) I have always had a good experience (barring one phlebotomist who had a hard time with my big veins). Their schedulers (Nicolle and Cal) are extremely nice and always treat me well with their text and emails. Their new facility is nicely appointed and the parking is easy. I do wish the paperwork could be streamlined, but it is mostly the same each time, with a few added pages for each program. They always do full vitals: weight, BP, temp, and take a quick blood sample for crit levels. The process is easy and the payment immediately goes on a refillable debit card which you can use for transactions at stores or ATMs. If you lose your card, they can issue you another one.

If you didn't save the card, you DO NOT get paid with another one, bc a 8 month lapse is understandable. I have no problem telling a judge to reject their claims of harassment, given that they don't check ID, and even at the Mass Eye & Ear THAT is mandated. They must be going out of business, so the standards sunk.
