Educational Programs

» The Fun & Education Weekend Family Retreat is a program designed for families affected by a bleeding disorder. The program provides educational and supportive sessions designed to empower parents and their children. This is a can’t-miss opportunity to connect with other families and get expert advice from professionals in the field and those that have "been there". The Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation offers this program to all Wisconsin patients and families at little to no cost.
