LFB Plasma

In February, LFB Plasma welcomed Julia Hayes, a speaker from the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF), to the LFB Plasma Collection Center in High Point, North Carolina. Julia shared her journey living with hypogammaglobulinemia, a condition that limits the body’s ability to produce immunoglobulins. After years of relying on antibiotics and steroids, Julia found stability through plasma-based therapies, which have allowed her to live a normal and healthy life. With humor, she described her reliance on plasma therapies by comparing herself to a “vampire,” emphasizing that donated plasma is essential to her life.

Julia also spoke about passing this genetic condition on to her children, which was a difficult reality for her. She expressed gratitude that they were diagnosed early and able to begin IVIG treatment in their childhoods—avoiding the uncertain path she experienced.

Her story created a meaningful connection for our staff, many of whom gained a deeper understanding of the impact of their daily work. Julia personally thanked the team in High Point for their role in collecting and processing plasma that supports life for patients like her and her family.

Julia made a lasting impression on the team by reinforcing that each donation contributes to life-saving therapies and highlighting the importance of everything we do at LFB Plasma.

In December, the LFB Plasma High Point team (Ron, Lea, and Minoshka) was honored to partner with Helping Hands High Point to support families in need by distributing groceries, personal care items, and toys. LFB Plasma is incredibly proud to give back to our community and stand alongside organizations that work tirelessly to address food insecurity. Opportunities like this remind us of the power of compassion and the meaningful impact we can make together, especially during the holiday season.

As the New Year approaches, we look back on the collective impact we made in 2025.

Every donation contributed to a brighter future for patients who use plasma therapies. We thank our donors for donating and our LFB Plasma employees for making donating possible.

All LFB Plasma centers will be closed on January 1st, 2026 (New Year’s Day). We will reopen according to our normal schedule on January 2nd.

We wish you a happy and healthy New Year and a wonderful 2026.

YOU'RE THE DIFFERENCE!
