Washington Days 2024

The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation's Washington Days is an opportunity for people affected by inherited blood disorders to advocate for issues that are important to them. We are looking forward to gather together in person with hundreds of volunteer advocates from across the United States to meet with legislators and staff to discuss issues important to our community such as federal funding for bleeding disorder programs and supporting policies that increase affordability of coverage, and access to care.  

The issues at Washington Days 2024 will include:

• Bleeding Disorders Awareness (March is our month!)
• Federal Funding for Bleeding Disorders Program
• S. 1375 / H.R. 830 "Help Ensure Lower Patient (HELP) Copays Act"

Washington Days 2024 will be a fully in-person event. Registration is required to attend. There is no registration fee, however, we will only accept registrations until Monday, January 15, 2024. There will be no registration on-site.

NBDF is committed to creating a safe and healthy environment for all of our community members: consumer, chapter, providers, presenters, exhibitors, and staff. However, while vaccinations, negative COVID tests, observance of safety protocols, and exercise of personal discipline may reduce risk, an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 does remain in any public place where people are present.
