Our Mission ... In Action
-
We connect people in the bleeding disorder community to available, applicable resources and to one another. Through connection we don't have to go through this alone.
-
We fight to protect access to quality healthcare and treatments we need to live healthy lives, but we can't do it without your voice. Discover how you and your family can make a big difference by joining our advocacy efforts.
-
We are committed to trailblazing the way for those affected by bleeding disorders. We encourage our community members to step out into nature, to forage ahead on their own path of independence.
-
We are committed to educating people inside and outside the bleeding disorder community. Education is empowerment and we strive to encourage independence through learning.
