ABOUT LEGISLATIVE DAY

Protecting patient access to affordable care continues to be a crucial as we move into 2025, and we need your help! Join us on March 17th, 2025 for the Hemophilia Council of California’s Annual Legislative Day.

In 2025 we need to stay strong in our commitment to keeping health care accessible for the bleeding disorders community! Patient copay assistance is still at risk; State agencies in charge of health care affordability may not include the patient voice in their regulations or balance affordability with a commitment to the quality and availability of care.  We need YOUR voice. Will you join us?

“Deciding If You’re Camp Ready”
When we think about sending our children to camp, many of us wonder, “are they ready to be on their own? Will they have friends? Will they infuse on schedule? Who will look out for them? What happens if…?” We’ll discuss these common fears and provide an in-depth look at the camp environment, including key elements such as socialization, self-advocacy, and support resources.
