Our goal is to inform and support the bleeding disorder community.  Throughout these pages we will aspire to do just that by bringing you the latest information on medical issues, local and statewide events, community news and health and wellness topics.

     One of the special elements of this site will be its emphasis on Nutritional Health for the bleeding disorder community. For decades diets, weight loss and food have been topics of obsession and great debate. Obviously there is no magic bullet since 60% of Americans are considered overweight or obese. People with a bleeding disorder and their loved ones face the same nutritional challenges and dilemmas with food, diets, weight and exercise as the general public. Add in the complexities of life with a bleeding disorder and there are unique concerns to consider.

     We believe that people can make changes to improve their daily living regardless of age especially when provided with understandable and useful information in a respectful and nonjudgmental forum. Our intention is to ultimately improve the quality of life for people living with a bleeding disorder.

 We hope within these pages you find something that will leave you thinking, get you moving and keep you living fully.  We will be updating the information on this website regularly so be sure to save us in your Favorite Places and visit us often!
