VHF’s Annual Meeting brings together the inherited bleeding disorder community to share information on a wide variety of topics and it is a great opportunity for networking and support for individuals and families.
What to expect: The event kicks off Friday evening with an educational dinner and time to catch up with friends and family. Saturday begins with breakfast and an opportunity to explore exhibits hosted by our generous industry sponsors, showcasing the latest treatments and therapies. The day continues with engaging educational sessions, updates from VHF, and specialized programming for children and teens with Camp Holiday Trails, as well as on-site childcare provided by A Helping Hand.
March is Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month: A time to raise awareness, promote education, and honor the dedication and achievements of the bleeding disorders community. Join YOUR VHF community to celebrate this meaningful month at our Annual Meeting and again on Sunday, March 16, 2025, for our milestone 50th Anniversary Celebration at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. Together, we’ll learn, connect, and create lasting memories in a festive and supportive setting. Don’t forget to check out our exclusive 50th Anniversary merchandise—$1 from every sale supports the creation of VHF’s Sitting Wall, a serene memorial to honor our community, which will be unveiled at the celebration.
