Huntington Hospital Donor Center

Greedy and unethical. This hospital engages in illegal behavior against it’s workers and I would NEVER want to promote a business that fires workers for exercising their federal right to form a union. This hospital illegally fired 2 nurses for trying to form a union. That is UNACCEPTABLE!!! Shame on you Huntington Hospital.

Came into the Emergency room here at Huntington Hospital at 8:15pm due to my Sickle Cell Crisis. The doctors emergency staff and nurses was really friendly and trustworthy. I was admitted to my room in the 6 West Wing room 650. After being treated with pain management and transfer as a intake patient. The Internation Doctor refused to give me my pain management of 2mg dilaudid every three due to being constipated after receiving 4 days of treatment. edness, or tingling of skin), itching, sweating, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, stomach pain, dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, double vision, headache, sleep problems (insomnia), strange dreams, and dry mouth just to name a few side effects. I also had a donor of blood and two iv injections of antibiotics for pneumonia and low red blood counts. The nurses was great, Stacey, Wendy, Diane, and Rebecca. The Male Doctor who refuses to give me his name and was wearing no name badge told me I can be transfer and no longer will need to be treated if I did not follow his recommendation towards my bowel movements.
Please note that I been living with this terminal illness if Sickle Cell Disease for 28 years and have always have difficulty having a bowel movement but no Physicians has stop my Sickle Cell Pain Crisis due to constipation. I spoke with kindness while the Physician on the West Wing floor 650 became temperament and cut my television. Presenting me with extreme bad saide manners in regards to my health issues. I have never experience a Physician and his will to threatened a patient health that he has no specialty in as a Hemotologist or Oncologist. I will no longer provide any nore time and money hear at Huntington Hospital. I been a patient as a Peds with Dr. Nadia Ewing and Rn Lisa Pullens when she transfer to City of Hope. I have experience more emotional stress and physical harm prior to coming into the Emergency Room. I also, requested for a New Doctor to be my physician while I healed and recover during my last few days of care.
I was treated inappropriately and spoken with no grace of true care at this hospital.
I will pursue legal actions of negligence and emotional distress due to the lack of empathy from this hospital care center.

Came here to donate blood since I was in the area and had some time to kill. Usually I donate at the Red Cross regularly, but I decided to try out this hospital.
Parking is free if you’re donating, which is pretty cool. I didn’t enjoy the woman at the front desk though. At the Red Cross, they usually have a greeter who makes the waiting time more pleasant. However, this lady didn’t do that. She just told me to fill out some forms, and then ignored me the rest of the time I waited. If I asked her a question, she would seem annoyed and gave me a short answer. After I filled out the forms she just chit chatted with the nurses, while I was left feeling awkward.
The center itself is pretty nice. They had an actual room to do private interviews, unlike the Red Cross.
The nurse I had was absolutely fabulous. She really did make me feel welcome and she didn’t hurt me when she inserted the needle. She made sure I was comfortable and answered all my questions. She was good company.
I have to admit the treats for the donaters are better than the Red Cross. They have ice cream, gatorade and oreo cookies!
Overall I had a good experience. Would have been better if the woman was more pleasant, and if my coupons I received for donating weren’t expired.

great experience. they really take care of you. make sure you dont faint. all smiles cant wait to donate again

I can’t donate blood for a year since I went to a country/​city that’s considered a malaria risk. This update is just a shout out to all those who can, right now the hospital is currently experiencing a CRITICAL Shortage of O NEGATIVE BLOOD! I know this because the donor center has been sending out emails and I just feel terrible that I can’t donate! =(
All blood types are important and are accepted, but there is an emphasis O-​negative blood because it is the universal donor blood. So in trauma situations when there is when there is no time for blood typing, O-​negative blood can be given without negative consequences.

Cat got your tongue?
Recession got you down?
Dying for some sweets but maxed out your cards?
I gave some of my delicious red liquid of life and I got a coupon for a pint of Baskin-​Robbins ice cream. Not only that. After I delivered my goods, they offered me oreos, nutter-​butters, and even some ice cream.
In n out in thirty minutes.. . now all I gotta do is wait eight weeks to do it again.
