Based in Washington, D.C., HFA works in conjunction with other national and state organizations on behalf of those who have bleeding disorders. Its officers and staff maintain a highly visible presence, representing the bleeding disorders community on Capitol Hill and speaking regularly before the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other key agencies. HFA strives to educate the community and provide tools that give the community a voice at state and federal legislatures. HFA consists of a national office and organization plus >30 community-based organizations made up of numerous men, women, children, moms, dads, siblings, grandparents and friends impacted by a bleeding disorder.
