Public Health Symposia Now Available on the NHF Website!

This summer’s Virtual Bleeding Disorders Conference (BDC) featured a pair of excellent public health symposiums, which were developed through an inspired collaboration between NHF and several national blood disorder advocacy organizations.

These symposia were designed to encompass critical topics with far reaching implications for our communities, including emerging and novel therapies, surveillance, and key public health-related issues relevant to affected women and girls. If you were not able to attend the live presentations in August, rest assured that you have not missed out! Both symposia are now available and easily accessible on the NHF website.
