Join us for this episode of "Growing the Gift."  where we replay "Infectious Disease update: How to stay healthy " from the 2024 Pediatric Transplant Conference, part of National Pediatric Transplant Week and National Donate Life Month featuring Taylor Heald-Sargent, MD, PhD, Attending Physician, Infectious Disease, Assistant Instructor of Pediatrics, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Four years after the COVID pandemic, people are tired of talking about vaccinations. Transplant recipients and their families remain concerned about viruses that continue to spread in our communities. Hear about the newest viruses of concern for transplant patients and what we can do to stay healthy. Intro/Outro music: "Parasail" by Moby. Used with permission.

The "Growing the Gift" podcast is about pediatric transplant recipients from the eyes of those who live it every day: caregivers, parents, the clinical team, and the community.

We know that being a transplant family comes with unique challenges, and we want to provide a space for you to feel seen, heard and understood. In each episode, we will explore a different topic related to transplantation through interviews with experts and families like yours.

We hope this podcast will provide information and connection for you as you navigate your transplant journey. Thank you for being part of our community, and happy listening!
