Season 2 Episode 2 - Reverse Plasma Podcast; Gabby Interviews Kris

This is a podcast about plasma donation. As a plasma donor, your contribution to the health and well-being of patients who rely on plasma-derived therapies is invaluable. Plasma saves and improves the lives of people with chronic diseases such as primary immune deficiency, hemophilia, and COVID-19—related conditions. In addition to treating these conditions, plasma is used in emergencies to treat people with burns and other trauma-related injuries. When you donate plasma, you give the gift of life. We sit down with people from all walks of life to have real conversations.
