It feels SO good to do something so helpful and life changing -- and it requires minimal effort. I am typically in and out within 60-70 mins. I can go in the middle of a workday without skipping a beat. This is because it only takes about five minutes to complete the initial check-in/med check...and then while you're donating you are free to use your phone, read a book, etc. After you donate, you receive an email when your blood has been shipped to a medical center for use. It is so heartwarming to know that your donation was used for the benefit of someone else. This gives me pause...in a good way...every time. There is free parking on site. They will offer to schedule your next blood donation at the earliest point that you're eligible to donate again, making it so easy for you to return. And, have I even mentioned that there's a free snack at the end? The Nutter Butters are my go to. ;)

I see you all working hard and despite the negative comments you get from "long wait times" I know there is little you can do. I see you all and appreciate everyone of you! Thank you.

It goes relatively quickly if you do some of the stuff online first when you arrive you will do your health questions and do your check in and then stand in line, I would have to say my only complaint is the lack of seats. For those of us that are older, and have arthritis standing for an hour or so, can really be traumatic on one's knees. I mentioned this before, but no one really had a reason why they don't have chairs. I do think that the phlebotomist and the front and people are pretty nice and caring and also are trained pretty well because sometimes I have gotten people who stick me and don't do well. At this location I haven't had that issue at all. They definitely check back with you. They're open to you asking questions , overall so far it has been a really good experience. One additional thing to note is that they have newer machines, so the actual process goes very quickly. Once you get connected I spend no more than 30 minutes there.

I will never in my entire life go back to this place or donate through this company ever again. The…read morecompany is now Grifols which I have never had a problem with until arriving at this location. There's a gentleman who is a very tall, heavyset, bald man with a large framed pair of glasses, that is the single handedly most offensive and ignorant person I have ever met. When I arrived, everything was fine until they did a check of my arms and everything else. I had recently had blood work done at my primary care's office the Jane Polly Center on North Arlington and so there were some slight bruising and marks on my arms. When I pulled my sleeves up, I did state and identify this immediately, and even though I was able to provide all of the blood testing, I had done with dates and test names via MyChart to prove that my blood work was a valid reasoning for the marks of my arms and bruising. I was told that that was not a sufficient and reasonable explanation. That I had to somehow provide a statement on my chart that I had been stuck in both arms with syringes to draw blood. I have very constricted veins that roll almost every time. So it took a little while and trying both arms in order to get one to draw blood from. I did everything I could within my power to provide him with the information to show that I was in fact someone who had blood work done. But instead, I was dismissed and disregarded as nothing more than an " lying junkie, who had blast marks upon his arms" there was a lot more insensitive and rude as could be things said. But to spare you all the details of that part, you can just assume where that had gone given the statement he made that I did include. Even though it had been long enough since the blood work and I had sufficient hydration and nutrition in my body, I was treated as nothing but subhuman trash, who was not seen as equal and worthwhile. So I was dismissed on every claim I made to try and show that I wasn't what he was claiming me to be. I will never go back to this place and I hope that gentleman is fired because I heard him say these things to more than just me but in different situations

Today I went to this location to due my Weekly plasma donation, while at this center,I was disrespected by a staff member by the name of Alex Spiker, he was rude , in my opinion obnoxious, I had requested a certain staff member to proform my procedure,I told other staff member Robin that I wanted to know why he was refusing my request,then he came to my bed and said " I don't have to cater to your request" but upon looking at the guidelines for grifols plasma center I have the right to request a certain staff member to perform the phenbotomist task of my donation. I then went up to the front desk to speak to the facility director Devin, while speaking to another staff member Jodie, Alex Spiker came to the desk area and in a harah voice and told me to leave and not to bother the staff. I don't believe I deserve that type of treatment after being a loyal customer for many years. I don't recommend this facility, due to this staff member treating customers in such a hateful manner, I tried contacting their corporate office and got nowhere, I guess this facility a bad review and I hope other people see this review and avoid donating at that facility. Alex should not be allowed to work at that facility with that type of attitude.

Indiana Blood Center is part of a regional consortium that secure donated blood and blood products…read morefrom volunteers and distribute to hospitals and medical centers to use for various medical emergencies and patient treatment regimens. IBC maintains several regional locations around the state, and extends donation opportunities through mobile operations and blood drives. I've given blood at various times in my life, but a few years ago when a family member needed a blood transfusion, it motivated me to become a regular donor. Donation options include whole blood, which is the fastest and easiest procedure. If you have more time, IBC also has apheresis procedure to collect platelets, double red cells, or plasma. Indiana Blood Center maintains a robust user interface on www.donorpoint.org where you can schedule donations at a blood center or blood drive. The staff are friendly and offer plenty of free snacks and drinks after a donation session.

But, I recently had to have some additional paperwork submitted. The nurse who was working with me was great and gave me a coupon for additional compensation on my next two visits. I thought this was very kind. He actually wrote the date wrong, so I had another nurse update and approve it. I gave plasma today and submitted the coupon. The manager who processed it was tentative. She got another employee and they went in the back. When they came out I was told, rather tersely, that they changed their policy and would not honor the coupon for the two donations promised. I was paid for today only. I said the coupon was issued by them, just last week, and should be honored as is. They refused. I am extremely disappointed at the lack of integrity of the person who refused to honor a coupon that they issued, and was approved by two ppl. Whether or not their policy changed, the coupon should have been honored.

I kept hearing my co worker talking about how her daughter's life was saved by a blood transfusion. She donates regularly for this very reason. I usually don't pick up when they call but this time I did and I booked my appointment on the spot. Everyone was very nice and patient with me. There was several signs with testimonials about how they were saved or their child was saved. So I knew I was doing the right thing. I won't lie and say it didn't hurt cause it did. But it was worth it if I am able to save a life. Did I mention the snack bar?? After your donation you are advised to sit and eat a snack before you leave. Consider donating......it can save a life.
