Encouraging Early Independence Educational Program

NHF Colorado is excited to announce our upcoming educational session, sponsored by Pfizer, Encouraging Early Independence.  This will be an outstanding opportunity for parents to talk about the importance of living an independent lifestyle for their children with hemophilia.  This program comes at an especially opportune time as many children in the community are attending Mile High Summer Camp, learning how to self-infuse.

We encourage you to join us for this special evening, free of charge, including the session, discussion, and dinner.  Many thanks to our generous sponsor, Pfizer for making this possible!

What: This presentation focuses on the transition to independence as the child with hemophilia moves through adolescence into adulthood. Information is provided on introduction self-infusion to children and guidance for children on communicating their condition and needs to peers and teachers.
