For the past 50 years, The Northwest Ohio Hemophilia Foundation has assisted individuals and families affected by bleeding disorders. Through family networking events, maintaining a crisis fund, providing medical identifications, facilitating educational workshops, and advocating at the local, state, and national level on critical legislation, our Foundation is committed to helping people manage their condition.
Our Foundation believes that education is a critical component of managing a bleeding disorder, as is interacting and learning from other impacted families. We offer a wide range of educational meetings from learning to advocate for yourself to dealing with insurance to fitness and nutrition. Additionally, each year, we provide scholarships to send youth to Camp Bold Eagle where kids experience a traditional summer camp while learning the valuable skills they need in order to become independent teens and adults.
Medical Identifications: We provide medical identifications to all with a significant bleeding disorder, such as hemophilia and VonWillebrand Disease. Free of charge, these identifications are potentially life-saving.
Emergency Financial Assistance: We set aside funds each year for emergency financial assistance for those who are experiencing financial hardships related to their bleeding disorder.
Advocacy: We actively participate at a local, state, and national level and encourage our members through education and legislative days. Our community has a long history of making an impact on legislation, and telling their story to legislators is vital with critical legislation.
