LFB Plasma

In March, LFB Plasma welcomed Greg Hayes, a speaker from the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF), to the LFB Plasma Center in Pueblo, Colorado Center. Greg shared that he was healthy for his entire life until 2016 when he began experiencing issues with his lungs. After going for a year without a clear diagnosis, he developed a severe case of pneumonia and a diagnosis of lymphoma. Doctors also discovered that his immunoglobulin levels were significantly below normal, revealing a previously undetected immune deficiency.
Following this diagnosis, Greg began plasma-based therapies immediately. He described these treatments as his lifesaving grace, crediting them with maintaining his health and giving him the ability to continue working with the public. Today, the therapies provide him with daily protection and allow him to spend time with his grandchildren who are central to his life.

As a triumphant milestone, Greg noted that he has since been cleared of lymphoma. This milestone speaks to both his resilience and the effectiveness of his care. He expressed sincere gratitude to the Pueblo team, recognizing the vital role they play in collecting and processing plasma for patients like him. His story connected with the Pueblo team, some of whom reflected on similar experiences in their own families and communities.

Greg left a lasting impression on the team. He reinforced the idea that each donation directly contributes to patient survival and improved quality of life. Learning how many donations it takes to produce even a small amount of medicine was especially meaningful, further highlighting the importance behind the work we do at LFB Plasma.

They Are The Difference: LFB Plasma Employees Enable Life-Saving Therapies

Immune Deficiency Foundation patient advocates visited LFB Plasma centers in December 2025 inspiring employees who collect life-saving plasma, knowing they are the difference for patients and families.

In December 2025, LFB Plasma welcomed two patient advocates, Tanner Wilson and Denna Murray McGrew, from the Immune Deficiency Foundation to our Fort Pierce and Greenacres plasma collection centers. The advocates told personal stories underscored our mission: plasma collected by LFB Plasma is the essential starting material for life-saving therapies for people with primary immunodeficiencies.

On December 2, LFB Plasma Fort Pierce Center welcomed Tanner Wilson and his family. Tanner shared his lifelong journey with a primary immune deficiency, including his reliance on plasma-derived therapies. His story resonated with our team members who were gratified to hear how the quality plasma we supply becomes part of the therapies that have enabled him to attend school, play football, have a family, build a career and live a full life. His family’s gratitude for the donors and the entire supply chain, which begins with centers like ours, was deeply moving for our team.

On December 3rd, Denna Murray McGrew visited the LFB Plasma Greenacres Center. Denna shared her personal story of a genetic primary immune disease passed onto her two children. She spoke with incredible strength about her son’s bravery and his wish to advance plasma research before his passing in 2025. Denna advocates for plasma donation to honor her son, and her advocacy inspired the entire team to continue doing what we do.

The patient advocate visits were transformative for our employees. Their personal stories reinforced the positive difference that LFB Plasma employees make to thousands of lives every day by collecting plasma for life-saving plasma-derived therapies. Understanding the immense number of plasma donations required for a single treatment regimen highlighted the critical importance of our role.
We extend our deepest thanks to Tanner, Denna, and the Immune Deficiency Foundation. Their stories are why LFB Plasma is committed to excellence in plasma collection, the essential starting material for therapies that save lives.

As the holiday season fills our hearts with gratitude, we want to spotlight those who give the gift of hope all year long.

Thank you to all LFB Plasma donors whose generosity fuels life-changing therapies. Thank you also to our LFB Plasma employees, whose commitment turned donor generosity into healing.
All LFB Plasma centers will be closed on December 25th (Christmas Day). We look forward to welcoming our donors back when we resume normal operations on December 26th.

We wish you and your families a safe and joyful holiday season.
