    When the CEO takes a pay cut, I will continue to donate. CEOs have a right to a decent compensation package as they are running a big business. Decent is subjective, I agree. 1.25 million is not. When the new CEO, Cliff Numark, salary is released, that will tell alot. The past CEO of OneBlood, George "Bud" Scholl, earned around $1.09 million in salary with total compensation over $1.25 million based on 2022/2023 filing data.

    Painful Donation Experience / May 2025: donation at a Big Red Bus adjacent the Manatee County Administration building at 1112 was stopped after the needle insertion was ineffective (minimal-to-no blood flowing), and very, very painful while needle was in place. After waiting for 3-4 minutes for the pain to subside (it never did), I requested the needle be removed so I could be on my way. Come to find out, the phlebotemist had been "on the job" a single-digit number of months -- no name here, but remediation (on an orange, or rubber tubing, but not a human!) is recommended and urged. And NO, my A- blood will not be donated in a Big Red Bus ever again.

    I really wanted this place to be easy and efficient, but my visit was anything but. The receptionist seemed totally unsure of what was going on, which didn’t inspire much confidence. On top of that, they wouldn’t let me email my prescription for a simple blood draw. Instead, they made me call my doctor and have it faxed—in 2025. There’s no reason they can’t have a basic “info@…” email address for situations like this. It felt outdated and unnecessarily difficult. Overall, they came across as unprepared and unprofessional. I won’t be rushing back.

    Since 2019, I’ve been donating whole blood at OneBlood Manatee, and in that time I’ve noticed the tremendous role Mark plays. He truly holds the entire operation together. There is a sense of comfort and confidence knowing he is in the building or has any input in the daily operations. I sincerely hope this fine young gentleman is recognized for the outstanding leadership and stability he brings to OneBlood. He has a gift at mentoring the younger or new hires. He has a calm and relaxing approach. I don't share how very anxious I am every needle stick. Mark has a calming sense over his patients.

    Mark has been my phlebotomist the past two times I’ve donated platelets. He and everyone else there is super nice and made me feel comfortable while donating. Can’t wait to donate again!!
