In this episode of BARE It All Coffee Talk, Stephanie sits down with fellow board member Maria to explore the crucial role of advocacy in the biliary atresia journey. Whether you're a parent or a patient, effective advocacy can significantly impact your medical experience. Join us as we share our insights and experiences to support and guide others on their journeys.

The incidence of biliary atresia is approximately one in 10,000 children, with the disease being more common in males and in Asian and African-American newborns. Biliary atresia is not an inherited disease and does not run in families.
