VHF is pleased to offer travel grants to attend national meetings. National meetings enable our community to come together and exchange information on a wide variety of topics, from the basics of diagnosis to the most relevant developments in treatment and technology. If applying for travel assistance for a national meeting typical award amounts depend on the availability of travel scholarships offered by the national organization. See below to learn more and contact VHF at 804-740-8643 or info@vahemophilia.org if you have any questions.
Meeting: Hemophilia Federation of America (HFA) Symposium
This beloved family event has become known as a national “family reunion” for the bleeding disorders community, allowing community members, their families and caregivers to come together for camaraderie and education. HFA is excited to host their first in-person Symposium since 2019. They know everyone is not comfortable traveling just yet so some sessions, such as the keynote presentations, will have an online component. » Go here to learn more
