    I visited Vitalant for a blood donation. I made an appointment online and selected the Power Red option which collects more RBCs than a standard whole blood draw but returns plasma, white cells, etc. back into your blood stream. Starting with the receptionist, all the staff I encountered were friendly and kind. The donor lounger is fairly comfortable. I will try to make a better habit of periodic donation.

    The reasons I donated was for Katie Histing, who has had over 45! Blood product units in her cancer fight.

    I have been a blood donor since the 70's when I took a bloodbanking course ( immunohematology ) at UNR when I was pre-med student. The old office was on Kirman. I got my 5 gallon donor medal about 20 years later. I felt a intuitive calling to donate today as I drove by the Terminal Way location because I read that a girl I have been praying for had over 40 units of blood & platelets in her fight with cancer. So today I donated a double bag of red blood cells ( B - ) The intake rep Jimmy, and the phlebotomists Kim & Andrew are all 5 stars... Thanks for what you do to help young ones like Katie Histing's to survive another day.

    Easy scheduling, gift card perks, nice staff, and snacks. I donate because someone I love needed a transfusion and it's such an easy way to give back. Definitely recommend.

    American Red Cross - Offering a hand up is not a hand-out.

    American Red Cross

    Offering a hand up is not a hand-out. -Clara Barton, public school teacher, civil rights advocate,…read moreAmerican Civil war nurse who traveled with Union Army, and American Red Cross "ARC" founder. Good intentions only go so far. To truly help others, you have to take action in some way. Similarly, you have to be active in your faith in order for it to be truly meaningful. Saw ARC brochure at a Veterans hospital offered free smoke alarms in homes. A volunteer came to my home who checked and updated all batteries of my existing smoke detectors, checked electrical connections for the hard-wired smoke alarms while reminding me to, "Test your smoke alarms monthly." No one else does what ARC does: not any government, not other charities. From small house fires to multi-state natural disasters, ARC goes wherever humanitarian need is to provide answer to that need. 95% are volunteers. Each year ARC responds to some 64,000 disasters. The vast majority are home fires. ARC goal's to reduce fire-related deaths and injuries in the US because on average: 7 people die every day in America from home fire, most impacting children and the elderly. My maternal grandmother was one of them. 36 people suffer injuries as a result of an American home fire every day. Over $7 billion in American property damage occurs every year from home fires. ARC began providing services to US military during Spanish-American War in 1898. More than 400 ARC volunteers, including 296 women nurses, lost their lives in World War I. They were on the front lines of battle. They served in field and evacuation hospitals, on hospital trains, ships and planes. ARC involvement in World War II preceded entrance of US into war. In 1939, ARC became chief provider of relief supplies for civilian victims.. After 7 December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor ARC quickly mobilized a volunteer and staff force of what was to be more than 104,000 nurses to fulfill the mandates of its 1905 congressional charter requiring that the organization "furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in time of war" and to "act in matters of voluntary relief and in accord with the military and naval authorities as a medium of communication between the people of the United States of America and their Army and Navy." Donut Dollies was popular term used for ARC women who volunteered to work overseas in mobile service clubs called clubmobiles. They provided food, entertainment and a bit of a connection to home to GIs stationed overseas. On the home-front millions of ARC volunteers provided aid and comfort to GIs and their families, service in hospitals experiencing severe staffing shortages, provided first aid and water safety training, conducted scrap drives, organized Victory Gardens, initiated educational programs, in-home nutrition, and produced emergency supplies for victims of war. ARC also recruited thousands of nurses to Serve in Army and Navy Nurses Corps. ARC served American prisoners of war as a conduit for communication between prisoners and their families, providing essential care packages to prisoners though many captors thwarted these efforts. ARC war time activity reached its peak in 1945; 7.5 million volunteers and 39,000 paid staff were supporting war effort. By the time of the end of the war, the American public had contributed over $784 million in support of Red Cross activities. During World War II, 86 ARC workers, 52 women and 34 men, lost their lives. ARC volunteers were with GIs during US military actions following WWII: Korea 1950-1953 where two American Red Cross members lost their lives and many others were injured. Cuba 1961 Viet Nam 1961-1973 where 480 ARC field directors, hospital personnel and recreation workers served in Southeast Asia. ARC workers brought recreation to an average of 280,500 GIs each month. Five ARC members lost their lives and many others were injured. Dominican Republic 1965, Lebanon 1982, Grenada 1982, Panama 1982 Gulf War (Kuwait and Iraq) 1991 where ARC volunteers carried 215,000 emergency messages to and from GIs. They aided more than 4,700 GIs and their families with $1.72 million in emergency financial aid and other services. Seven ARC workers received the Bronze Star for meritorious service. Somalia 1983, Haiti 1994, Bosnia 1994-1995, Kosovo 1999, Afghanistan 2001-2021, Iraq War 2003-2010, Libya 2011, War with ISIL 2012-2019, Syria 2017-present For 100+ years ARC volunteers have worked at Department of Veterans Affairs "VA" hospitals in medical, recreational and welfare programs; and for decades at VA offices providing assistance to Veterans filing applications for Service and disability compensation.

When you remove consent from plasma withdrawal, or the removal of a needle, re-stick, to stop being touched in any way, a different phlebotomist, etc and the employee(s) refuse, and withdraw anyway, it is assault or possibly even battery. I asked the needle to be removed today. the first employee refused. The second employee that came to "help" aided in her refusal of my revoked consent of withdrawal of plasma. After asking for removal the second employee then shoved the needle deeper into my vein. Taped me up and then scolded me for "raising my voice" at the first employee. My "raised voice" was "ow ow ow" "yes it still hurts" "please stop pushing down on the needle" and "thank you" after she stopped assaulting me. (Because when she finally let go after begging her, the pain stopped). I thanked this person for stopping her assault on me and I was assaulted again by the second employee (because I already withdrew consent) and then scolded by the second employee for being in pain out loud , asking her to stop, and thanking her for the end of her assault. I left in tears. I was visibly crying for over 10 minutes. Finally after the withdrawal of plasma was done against my consent, a third employee asked if I was okay. Removed the needle and added the bandage. Asked if I wanted to wait to see if I was okay. No, I left immediately. I find it very convenient that no one noticed my distress until after the plasma was withdrawn and finished. I have only withdrawn consent twice. Only at this location. Out of both times that I withdrew consent both times I was denied and assaulted. This is a 100% rate. 2/2. I have been donating for 7 years. I have had other problems at this specific location. No issues at any other location, or plasma donation center. For 7 years. My only complaints have been to this specific location. For 7 years I have only withdrawn consent at this location! both times I was refused!

Someone takes the time and care to create a seasonal decorative display in the lobby area. The snacks for the post-donation are stacked high, and there's a good variety of salty and sweet options. I go with the "traditional" whole blood option, and I'm usually in and out in 45 minutes. I always make my appointments online, and I complete the FastTrack the day off to speed up the intake process. I appreciate that they take the QR code on one's phone and don't require you to print out the PDF. There's eight chairs, and each set of four chairs faces a large screen TV. I'm very frugal with my time and money, so giving back by giving blood is my favorite way to do good. So many people need blood: surgery patients, cancer patients, and people who come into the emergency department with traumatic injuries. As an advocate for equality, I look forward to the day when federal laws allow sexually active gay and bisexual men who do not have HIV to donate blood. Currently, the screening questions will render men who have recently had sex with other men to be ineligible to donate.
