In this powerful episode of Transplant Radio, moderator Kevin Foth sits down with Meredith Cowden, Executive Director of the Meredith Cowden Foundation and also the AGVD Alliance, who shares her extraordinary 25‑year journey living with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Meredith opens up about her diagnosis with AML in 2001, her challenges with acute and chronic GvHD, and how her personal experiences inspired the creation of a foundation dedicated to education, empowerment, survivorship, and improving patient quality of life. Together, Kevin and Meredith explore the importance of patient-provider communication, the emotional impact of rare diseases, the role of social media in connecting isolated patients, and the groundbreaking work of the GvHD Alliance.
