Education Day 2012: OUr Community our wold

Get out your pencils and paper and jump into the annual NHF Colorado and HTC Education Day on April 21, 2012. Being part of the affected community means learning new research and resources as well as connecting with other community members – supporting each other and finding support.

NHF Colorado, the HTC, community members, and industry partners will provide a day full of sessions and discussions on topics such as: the Victory for Women Campaign, managing finances related to Hemophilia; physical activity and bleeding disorders; a HTC update; advocacy, and much, much more! There will be a series of sessions offered in Spanish or with Spanish translation. Participants will have an opportunity to interact with our corporate partners through a booth exhibit area, “booth bingo,” and hosted lunch table topics. Children’s programming will be provided throughout the day.
