Each donor is first asked questions regarding their medical history. A mini-physical is then performed recording temperature, blood pressure, pulse and hematocrit. After passing this screening process, the individual will be able to donate which takes approximately 5 – 10 minutes. Upon completion of donating blood, the donor will be asked to sit for a few minutes and enjoy a soft drink and cookie. The entire process takes approximately 30 minutes.
