Get Your FESTIVE ON
at the UHF Family Fest & Resource Fair

It’s fun, it’s a fest, it’s for the whole family – it’s the UHF Family Fest & Resource Fair (on June 21-22), a chance for families from around the state to gather for networking and learning from professionals in the bleeding disorders community. There will be Industry displays with information about the latest products and services in caring for bleeding disorders. Additionally, workshops and discussion groups will be offered for affected adults, parents raising children with hemophilia, and those affected with vWD. As always, we want to give you the chance to “workshop” and network with the best resource of all – other families in the bleeding disorders community. Don’t miss out! (Read more…)
