Abstract
This episode features Heather Stefanski, MD, PhD, a pediatric blood and marrow transplant (BMT) physician who’s worked specifically on improving the post-transplant wellness of child and young adult BMT patients. Dr. Stefanski worked as a physician with M Health Fairview Pediatric Specialty Clinic and as an Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School in the Department of Pediatrics and the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Center. Recently she pivoted to become the Vice President of Medical Services for Be the Match, a non-profit focused on expanding access to life-saving treatments for patients in need of bone marrow and stem cell transplants. In this episode we discuss the realities of bone marrow transplants, as well as the hope we have in the future for improved treatments, technologies, and quality of life for patients, in addition to the continual need for people to join the National Bone Marrow Registry as donors.
