Best donor team I've ever encountered. Very friendly and entertaining. Lab assistants are easy on the eyes too.

Staff is dedicated and caring. They do not compensate because the FDA does not allow it. Helps ensure safer blood supply. People should donate because they want to help people, I'm disappointed anyone would take money for their blood.
