The Virginia Bleeding Disorders Foundation (VABDF) formerly Virginia Hemophilia Foundation (VHF) Lyman Fisher Scholarship was established to honor Dr. Lyman Fisher, a teacher, researcher, and clinician in hemostasis. For many years, he directed the adult hemophilia program for Virginia. He will be remembered for his steadfast commitment to his patients and students, his respect for those who served under him, his community service and his affection for his family.
Application Deadline: Friday, May 1, 2026. The Virginia Hemophilia Foundation (VHF), the Hemophilia Association of the Capital Area (HACA), and Camp Holiday Trails (CHT) are excited to partner once again for Camp Youngblood (CYB) — a week-long overnight camp designed just for kids in our inherited bleeding disorders community!
