Local Hemophilia Foundations
Many states have local chapters loosely affiliated with the NHF. These chapters are advocates for patients and their families with bleeding disorders and can be a good source for local information and support. Many have social activities, which provide a forum for individuals to meet one another and share experiences. They also have educational seminars. Local chapters can be located on-line.
