Kristopher Jonas: Why Donors Show Up and Why It All Matters

Kristopher Jonas, Chief Executive Officer/President at Proesis Biologics, shared a post on LinkedIn:

”This recent piece from Peter Jaworski that sparked a different reflection for me.

In plasma, we spend a lot of time talking about why people donate.
But the truth is, people show up for different reasons. And, they’re all valid.

  • Some are motivated by helping patients
  • Some are motivated by the compensation
  • Some are in between

Here’s the part that matters:

Our responsibility isn’t to judge the reason. It’s to respect the decision.

Because regardless of why someone walks through the door…they are contributing to a system that patients depend on.

And that deserves to be met with:

  • Respect
  • Dignity
  • Appreciation

Every single time.

If we want to build a sustainable plasma supply, this principle has to be foundational:

  • Fierce donor advocacy means showing up for the donor, without conditions.
  • Not when it’s convenient.
  • Not when it fits a narrative.
  • Every time.

That’s how trust is built.

And in this industry, trust is everything.”
