This session will help patients and their families understand what an individualized prophylaxis plan is and how to get started. As each hemophilia patient is different – the combination of their age, weight, bleeding history, how they metabolize Factor, and lifestyle makes them unique – we will explore the benefits to tailoring a treatment plan with a healthcare provider to each patient’s needs.

GHA is looking for a prominent leader that will be willing to contribute to the design and creation of teen programs in the future. The teen must live within the GHA service area, be ages 14-20 years old, and able to attend the YETI conference April 2- 5, 2020. YETI will be held at Camp Collins.

Hemophilia Foundation of Oregon (HFO) created the YETI conference to help bleeding disorder organizations work to transition teens from living in their parents’ home to successfully living a life on their own after high school.

Teens must arrive in Portland by 3 p.m. on the 2nd and cannot depart from Portland until after 1 p.m. on the 5th. The teen will travel with either a staff member or volunteer from GHA round-trip, no one under 18 should be flying alone to and from YETI.

Symposium is a family-friendly conference where topics that affect the entire family living with a bleeding disorder are addressed.  HFA understands that bleeding disorders are not a one size fits all medical condition. Dealing with or caring for a loved one with a bleeding disorder is a lifelong journey requiring diligence and flexibility in handling the challenges along the way. HFA Symposium offers community members the opportunity to learn and grow personally and collectively in becoming strong self-advocates! During our powerful sessions, community members can connect on a personal level with our presenters.

As an organization dedicated to the education and advocacy for our community, we decided 24 years ago to hold an annual education weekend for our members. At this conference we bring the members together and offer educational sessions on the treatment of bleeding disorders where they can have the opportunity to meet and network with other people who have the same disorder.

Please contact info@gatewayhemophilia.org with any questions.

When nearly 3,000 people gather in one place at one time they constitute a united front. That’s what will happen at NHF’s Bleeding Disorders Conference in Atlanta, GA, when kids and adults with bleeding disorders and their families, physicians and researchers, HTC providers, chapter staff and volunteers, and industry partners all congregate August 6-8, 2020.
