A good phlebotomist it hard to find. Seriously. Therefore, when I donate blood, I head over to this Red Cross on Park Road. Because, you guessed it, their phlebotomists (blood drawers) are top notch.
You may think I'm being a bit facetious when I yammer on and on about their staff, but I'm not! Every time I've gone in here to donate, they are great - super friendly, funny and knowledgeable. They also play some great tunes in the background.
The facilities are also pretty nice - plenty of testing/question rooms, comfy chairs and superb snacks. Yes, they have Nutter Butters. Scoooooore! And, honestly, every time I get my butt over here to donate blood they really do seem appreciative.
I'm typically in and out with an hour - but if you're pressed for time, make sure you call and make an appointment. This is my go-to nonprofit to donate my precious O negative. Save three lives, score some tasty snacks and donate blood, people.
