Comanche Biopharma’s Post

Today, as part of our ongoing Preeclampsia Champions of Change series and in honor of #WorldPreeclampsiaDay we feature a Q&A with Kara Boeldt, Founder and Director of Endpreeclampsia.org, a group who seeks to make an impact in education, advocacy, and support. We’re also honored to have Kara serve as a member of Comanche’s Patient Advisory Board. Kara experienced liver failure, kidney failure, and cerebral edema due to severe #preeclampsia at 31 weeks gestation, resulting in the emergent delivery of her daughter. She ultimately transformed this traumatic personal experience with preeclampsia into an opportunity to help others. Kara decided to build a supportive community to help people navigate through this time of often heightened uncertainty and anxiety, giving them a safe place to share their concerns, frustrations, and grief, and to ask questions of trained peer-educators. Today, this community has over 50,000 members in 115 countries.
