Join us as we amplify patient voices and celebrate their resilience on this important day.
SHOW DESCRIPTION:
It's In Our Blood is a podcast created for the entire thalassemia community—patients, parents, siblings, significant others, friends, healthcare providers, and anyone impacted by or interested in this genetic blood disorder. Our platform is one where people living with thalassemia and those supporting them can share their personal stories, successes, challenges, and questions.
Each episode features authentic voices from patients, caregivers, family members/spouses, providers and others whose lives are touched by thalassemia. Through these personal narratives and expert insights, we aim to foster understanding, support, and connection. Because thalassemia is more than a condition; it’s a shared experience that runs deep— “It’s in Our Blood.”
Whether you are seeking inspiration, practical advice, or simply a place to feel understood, this podcast invites you to listen, learn, and connect with others who truly can relate to the thalassemia journey.
