I have always had good experiences at the commerce center when donating platelets. The staff has always been very helpful and friendly.

I disagree with the comment I just read. I find that center to be great and I have been there to donate about 6 times. They have been consistently good to me!

The Blood Donation Bank at the Commerce Center on Hayden and McDowell is the worst ever. There is a nurse Joyce that makes donating blood a stressful as can be. I love tho help next poor soul, but I would rather donate somewhere else. I am never donating a the Commerce Center ever again. Thank-you very much!
