Hemophilia Federation of America is a national nonprofit organization that assists, educates and advocates for the bleeding disorders community.
Join family, friends and your HFA community. This event is 100% online and free to attend. After the challenges of 2020, we will address the current issues facing parents, adult men and women, young adults, and kids in our bleeding disorders community. The HFA team is bringing you the latest information on medicine and technology, mental health care, Spanish resources, access to financial resources, barriers to care, and so much more. The full Symposium agenda is coming soon.
In an effort to make research findings more accessible to patients and caregivers who have an interest and who participate in research projects and initiatives, HFA is inviting you to disseminate your research findings to patients and/or their caregivers in an atmosphere that is comfortable and encourages one-on-one opportunities for questions and dialogue. The Research Poster Session will take place during our Virtual Symposium on Tuesday, October 26th from 8:00-9:00 pm ET. Posters and videos will be available for attendee viewing through the entire Symposium.
Each year, BioMatrix offers six (6) $1000 scholarships to college students in our bleeding disorders community. Each scholarship has a unique eligibility requirement based on the applicant’s bleeding disorder or relationship to someone with a bleeding disorder.
