Join us for Factor in the Family: Women and Girls Can and Do Have Hemophilia!
Women with hemophilia B don’t just face unique bleeding challenges – getting the right diagnosis and treatment can be an uphill battle. This program will help all community members advocate for girls and women who have a bleeding disorder, understand the obstacles the “carrier” label may bring, and discover why factor level alone may not dictate a woman’s need for the treatment.
