OUR GOAL IS TO ENSURE EVERY PERSON HAS ACCESS TO THE EDUCATION AND CONNECTIONS THEY NEED TO THRIVE.

The Bleeding Disorders Conference (BDC) will take place from August 17-19 at National Harbor near Washington, DC. BDC is the largest of its kind in the United States and will feature a high-caliber educational program for key members of the inheritable blood disorders community: consumers and their caregivers, chapter leaders, health care professionals, and researchers.

Each year, NHF awards travel grants to ensure that all families have equitable access to the conference, regardless of their financial status.

We want to share the importance of bringing our community together to make connections and learn from each other People like Shatara experienced symptoms for 16 years before being diagnosed with Factor VII deficiency. She was the only person in her family to have Factor VII.

Along with the educational opportunities BDC provides, the conference is also a place to connect and build relationships with the community As William’s mom said, “The conference allows us to have a human experience, we can connect with other people in the community, and we have the support of other people who experience inheritable bleeding disorders.”

Your generous support helps families living with an inheritable blood disorder build lifelong connections at BDC.
