What do they do on your first visit?
For your first donation, new members are required to go through the registration process which includes filling out some paperwork on your current medications and health history, watching an educational video, and have a quick health screening. You should plan to allow up to 2.5 hours for this first appointment. After this, donations will only take about 1 hour from start to finish.
