About
the
National
Hemophilia
Foundation
When the National Hemophilia Foundation was established
50 years ago, people with hemophilia were known as "sufferers,"
and their life expectancy was less than 30 years. People
with hemophilia had no formal means of communication, and
no one advocated for research money, better healthcare,
or improved insurance coverage. Families were not connected
with other families. People had very little way of knowing
if they were all alone or if there was anyone in their neighborhoods
facing the same problems.
Today, the National Hemophilia Foundation makes an important
difference in the lives of people and families with bleeding
disorders. With its strong national presence, chapters throughout
the country, and an intricate communications network bringing
healthcare professionals and consumers the latest news and
information about bleeding disorders, the National Hemophilia
Foundation has a proven track record of improving the quality
of life of people with bleeding disorders and their families.
