Usually, I visit the Peterson location, but visited the 38th/Halsted location because it's closer to home. Don't let the stockyard, industrial location scare you off, or confuse you. The entrance is to the left of the Aquired Taste storefront, on the right of the entrance at there is a keypad to call to gain entrance/buzzed in. Earl is the best CPR instructor hands down. Super informative, helpful and makes learning life saving skills fun. Looking forward to returning in 2 years...hope to see you there, Earl!

If you need a CPR class, I don't recommend this place. It's unclear when you add the product to…read moreyour cart, but to complete the in-person part of the certification, it's all virtual. You have to look at the FAQ on their page to find out what you're purchasing. For the most basic package of the BLS, you do a virtual skills session which means you show up at their building and record yourself on an iPad doing the skills session by yourself. Honestly, you're better off going to your local hospital or clinic where it is cheaper than this, and you meet an actual instructor :)

Buyer Beware! I would not recommend taking this class because it costs $59.99 to take the class and…read moreAFTER you have paid for the class online then they add an additional $32.50 for an online portion that needs to be completed BEFORE you can take this class. This is misleading, the real cost for this class is $92.49! Also the class on 9-29-22 was cancelled on the day of class due to the instructor being exposed to Covid. I asked for a refund and the company refused to give me one.

I needed to take a infant/child CPR course since I'll have a little one soon so I decided to take…read moreit here at the Red Cross, though there were other options available too. I was mostly worried about parking in this area but they do have some parking just west of the facility, across Leavitt. You enter that lot lot Harrison. Much/most/all of the street along Leavitt is 30 minute parking only which could work if you have an appointment here to donate blood, depending upon how long the appointments are. The course was good. It lasted about two and a half hours or so and began with adult CPR and choking techniques, from which the child and infant techniques are derived so you learn those modifications toward the end of the course. There were a couple people here who didn't need/want the child instruction so they were able to leave during the break. Due to the pandemic, they assign two people to a dummy instead of three as they used to, but they do partner you up if you're alone to ensure that you have someone observing to make sure you're getting the techniques correct. The course is a certification course, and I received my certification card later that same day (Saturday).

It had been…read morequite a few years since I donated, but I decided to pick it back up regularly last year during COVID. I have donated at a variety of locations and drives in the city, and each time has been so great. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming.

At today's drive, Jose was so incredibly friendly and explained everything very clearly, which I imagine would be so helpful for a first time donor. They also offer flexible appointments and a variety of locations for convenience. I highly recommend the app as well-- so easy!
