Great staff

Drove 25 minutes each way to find out the location closed because the AC wasn't working. Fine, it happens. Staff should have the courtesy to inform people who made appointments of the closure. Pathetic.

Make an appointment online prior to your visit. If you park in the municipal lot, the Blood Center will reimburse you the cost of the parking fee. Once inside, you will be asked to show your donor ID or other form of official ID, then you will answer a quick online questionnaire. After these formalities, you will sit with a donor specialist to determine your blood pressure and hematocrit count. Once done, another donor specialist can set you up in a bed and begin the process of withdrawing blood, platelets, or plasma from your body. Years back, I donated platelets regularly. This process, from my recollection, took about two hours. More recently, I have given whole blood . It takes hardly ten minutes for them to draw the amount they need; the donor specialists who have assisted me have been nothing short of kind, informative and reassuring. Blood donation is a lifesaving gesture and the Rockville Centre area is fortunate to have the staff, services, and venue to accommodate those who wish to give!
