HAPPENING HIGHLIGHTS
New Quarterly Email to Cover State Issues
In 2020 Hemophilia Federation of America began sending a quarterly e-newsletter called
State of the States. With an increased awareness of policy and advocacy issues on a
national level, HFA wanted to keep the bleeding disorders community informed about the
work happening on the ground at the local level. Policy and advocacy work is increasingly
important at the state level and is often a more accessible way for bleeding disorders patients
and their families to become involved in self-advocacy with their local member organizations.
The information will also be available on the website at www.hemophiliafed.org/news.
