Episode 269: Invisible Illnesses with the President of the Immune Deficiency Foundation - John Boyle

There are a lot of people who 'look healthy' who are at risk or may be living with things you have no idea about. In this episode I talk with John Boyle about 'invisible illnesses'.

John Boyle serves as President & CEO of the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) since 2017. His career has been devoted to nonprofit management and health advocacy, most recently as Vice President of External Relations at IDF.

In 1978, John was diagnosed with a primary immunodeficiency (PI), specifically X-linked Agammaglobulinemia, and has received immunoglobulin replacement therapy since he was six months old.

John is focused on advancing the Foundation’s advocacy, education, and research initiatives – both today and in the future. He leads a dedicated team working to grow the IDF community while anticipating future challenges for those affected by PI, such as emerging treatments, healthcare policy, and access issues.
