Virtual Washington Days
2021-03-01 - 2021-03-05
NHF’s Washington Days is an opportunity for people affected by bleeding disorders to advocate for issues that are important to them. In 2020, Washington Days had more than 450 volunteer advocates from 45 states that met with legislators and staff to discuss federal funding for bleeding disorder programs and access to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). The issues and priorities for 2021 Washington Days will be announced later this year.
Please note that Washington Days 2021 will be a virtual experience. Washington Days programming will take place during the dates of March 1-5. More programming details will be announced soon.
For reference, please click here to see the 2020 agenda. An updated agenda for the 2021 events will be released closer to the conference.
Preparatory webinars were hosted for the 2020 event. Similar webinars will be planned for February 2021.

Fitness Challenge: Destination GO
2020-12-11 - 2021-01-15
Being physically active is one key to managing a bleeding disorder. It also has many other benefits, like relieving stress, strengthening connections within the community, and improving general quality of life. Physical activity has been crucial during the pandemic: whether that was by going for socially distant walks around the neighborhood, hiking locally, or using household objects as weights!
To help encourage physical activity within our community, the New England Hemophilia Association (NEHA) and the New York City Hemophilia Chapter (NYCHC) are hosting a new version of our Annual Fitness Challenge. This year, we are inviting all community members (age 16+) to get involved. This includes bleeding disorder patients, unaffected siblings, and other family members. This challenge is a fun way to become a healthier, happier you!
Each accepted participant will receive a sleek Max Buzz Activity Tracker that will be free to you and is provided by NYCHC and NEHA. The new version of this challenge, Fitness Challenge: Destination GO, officially begins on January 27, 2021 and will run for two months!
Space is limited, so please apply as soon as possible. You must apply by Thursday, January 15. Accepted participants will be notified on Monday, January 18.

Dealing With Male Role Expectations

On Tuesday, September 22, at 1 PM, in place of our weekly discussion for men with a bleeding disorder, we will host a discussion with HFA, titled: “But I Can’t Bring Home the Bacon! Coping with Male Role Expectations.”
Society places great pressure on men to be the head of the household and primary ‘breadwinner,’ for their families. This session will discuss ways adult men with bleeding disorders can cope with male role expectations and find valuable ways they can still contribute and support their households, families, and relationships.
