HAPPENING HIGHLIGHTS

World Hemophilia Day April 17

Since 1989, patient groups worldwide have annually marked World Hemophilia
Day on April 17 to raise awareness and understanding of hemophilia and other
bleeding disorders. This date was chosen in honor of World Federation of
Hemophilia (WFH) Founder Frank Schnabel, who was born on April 17.

World Hemophilia Day aims to promote the importance of
coordinated and concerted actions to achieve WFH’s vision of
“treatment for all” and to draw attention to key issues and put
hemophilia and bleeding disorders in the spotlight. This year’s
theme was “Access for All: Partnership. Policy. Progress. Engaging
your government, integrating inherited bleeding disorders into
national policy.” Advocacy is one of the backbones of HFA. We
encourage you to assist us in our mission to advocate, educate
and assist by making a donation in honor of World Hemophilia Day
at www.hemophiliafed.org.

Symposium 2022

We want to thank everyone that was able to join
us in San Antonio for our Texas-Sized Family
Reunion in April! It was great to be able to
reconnect, learn and have some fun along the
way. We are cooking up a big Symposium wrap-
up article for a future issue of Dateline Federation,
but until then, we just wanted to thank all our
attendees, Board of Directors, volunteers,
exhibitors and sponsors for helping us bring back
Coffee & Conversations in-person Symposium in style!
