As you know, over the past year GLHF reached out to its
stakeholders and clients to better understand how our services could
benefit the individuals we serve. Based on that information, GLHF
staff have developed an exciting array of services for 2011.
GLHF is
committed to providing services
statewide:
In the
upcoming year you can expect to see
a continuation of the patient
financial assistance program and an
expanded educational scholarship
program for youth through college
aged clients, we will develop a web
library which will include a series
of podcasts of relevant information
and topics related to living with
bleeding disorders and government
advocacy. The WI Bleeding Disorders
Conference will be bigger and better
than this year and GLHF will roll
out its inaugural Family Camp.
GLHF is
committed to long-term positive
lifestyle change:
In the
upcoming year GLHF will endeavor to
heighten the awareness of bleeding
disorders by achieving our goal to
present at one statewide healthcare
association meeting. Over time,
continued participation in
healthcare provider meetings will
educate a broader number of
providers and improve your
interactions with non-hemotologists.
GLHF will also work with the HTC’s
to help develop materials that can
be distributed to clients and others
to better inform them on the issues
related to living with a bleeding
disorder.
GLHF is
committed to advancing public
policy:
GLHF will
host a Day at the State Capital in
2011. The date will be set soon and
you will be notified of details as
they become more clear. In 2012 we
will once again ask you to meet with
your legislators in-district. GLHF
will also keep you informed on the
implementation of the Healthcare
Reform Act and send updates as
details become more clear.
The Board
and staff of GLHF are excited to
move forward on these initiatives
even in light of my decision to
resign as executive director. They
are committed to carrying out the
plan for 2011 with the knowledge
that GLHF has an important role to
play as a national leader and a
local support system. It has been
my honor to serve as executive
director over the past year and a
half. Thank you for your continued
support of GLHF…the future is bright
and the vision is clear.
