“This podcast series gives a voice to the work and dedication of some remarkable people who are having a profound influence on the lives of individuals with rare and orphan disease,” says Quill, who points to his own father and other relatives who inherited a rare condition called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and demanded that their voices be heard. “My family became active in the alpha-1 patient community and saw that there were others who were struggling with Alpha-1, which leads to serious and debilitating lung and liver disease. For me, this podcast is very personal.”

With a drug therapy and the efforts of a patient-centered health management team, Quill’s father was able to live 10 years longer than his brothers and sisters. “Eventually, Dad received a double lung transplant—and a second lease on life. This podcast brings listeners the voices of people like my father so that they can live on and reshape how we think about patient care.”

“Each episode is designed to share information, spark conversation and fuel a growing drive to reach more people and better serve this patient population,” says Quill. “This podcast is just one way that Optime strives to provide exceptional support to caregivers, healthcare providers and biopharma partners.”
