Episode 86: A Patient Perspective on Ghost Coverage and Access to Immunosuppressants

For the first time, JHLT: The Podcast welcomes a patient onto the podcast. The Digital Media Editors are pleased to welcome heart transplant recipient and patient advocate Payton Herres for a discussion about her recent perspective piece in JHLT.

In this compelling, moving discussion, Payton shares:

• Her treatment story—from her congenital diagnoses to her life-changing transplant—and her donor's story
• The difference between coverage and access—and how FDA labeling affected her access to an important component of her care
• What she wishes clinicians understood about long-term care of transplant patients
