Yearly Calendar: Programs & Events
  Educational Von Willebrand Retreat

Being a member offers benefits that go well beyond raising awareness for and advocating on behalf of those with bleeding disorders. We provide education and networking opportunities, along with support services while promoting ongoing research to improve the quality of life for those affected. Throughout the year we keep our members abreast of these opportunities as well as the latest news and developments in the field of bleeding disorders through a variety of high-quality programs and events, with most events at no charge to our registered members.

Our programs and events, including the numerous support groups and retreats we provide to our members, are made possible by donations and support from our bleeding disorders community and partners.
