In the latest episode of the Health Unscripted podcast, host Matt Perlberg, president of pharmacy and care delivery at Evernorth Health Services, sits down with WNBA star Lexie Brown for a candid conversation about basketball, resilience, and living with a chronic condition. Brown, who is now entering her ninth season in the league, reflects on her journey from falling in love with the game of basketball as a child to hearing her name called on draft night, and the deep bond with her father that inspired it all.
Brown also opens up about the early, frightening symptoms that derailed what looked like an all-star season and ultimately led to her Crohn’s diagnosis. She describes the challenges of meeting the physical demands of playing professional basketball while dealing with an illness, and how today, Accredo Specialty Pharmacy helps her manage treatment while traveling frequently for games and training. She credits the support she receives from Accredo with helping her stay on track in her health journey.
