Events

As an organization dedicated to the education and advocacy for our community, we decided 23 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.

Deadline to register was June 14, please contact info@gatewayhemophilia.org with any questions.

Join us for an interactive workshop:

The Science of Optimism

Staying optimistic while navigating change through interactive exercises, attendees will discover how learned optimism can
help us navigate life’s transitions.

Developed in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) Positive Psychology Center
• Each UPenn trainer is an expert in his/her field with a PhD or master’s degree
• Take-home resources support further learning Event Flyer

DEADLINE July 15, 2019

The Adult Retreat is for adults with a bleeding disorder ages 20+. This retreat will allow you to connect with other adults living with a bleeding disorder. Each adult with a bleeding disorder may bring one significant other. You will learn something new and leave being empowered to be a better advocate. Connect during fellowship, food, education, and FUN!

All proceeds from GHA’s Wine Tasting fundraising will benefit the educational scholarship fund for our members with a bleeding disorder who are furthering their education.
