If you enjoy taking pictures, this program is for you! Please join us for this highly interactive photography program. In addition to engaging with recent research regarding the impact of art and photography on one’s health, participants will apply their photo skills in several picture-taking activities, guided by retired career photographer and member of the bleeding disorders’ community, Rich Vogel. Lights, Action, Camera On!
In partnership with the Hemophilia Association of the Capital Area (HACA), we are offering a virtual Men's Rap Session on a quarterly basis! We are offering these volunteer led sessions in the hopes that during these times of increased isolation we can help to create a network of men who educate and support each other which can lead to better health and stress management.
These rap sessions are free and open to men who are constituents of VHF/HACA, age 21 and up, and are diagnosed with an inherited bleeding disorder.
The VHF Medical Symposium will provide consumers with the knowledge needed to discuss emerging and current treatment options and have conversations around access to care and insurance trends. This program will also recognize World Hemophilia Day and will help the Virginia bleeding disorders community understand what these potential advancements may mean.
A rejuvenating afternoon retreat filled with educational programming, crafts, and community building. This retreat is open to women age 21 and up with an inherited bleeding disorder/carriers and/or to women whose lives are impacted by a bleeding disorder (i.e. caregivers, spouses, immediate family members).
Join us as we chat with Delegate Kathleen Murphy (34th District, Virginia House of Delegates) to learn more about the passage of HB 1995 that created the Rare Disease Advisory Council and its proposed scope of work. Hear more about Del. Murphy’s interest and advocacy for creating the Council AND for her general impressions on the virtual nature of the General Assembly meetings.
