(We regret we are unable to provide additional gift cards for other caregivers who may be joining the program.) \nDr. Frederico Xavier\, MD\, Pediatric Clinical Director\, Hemophilia Center of Western Pennsylvania\, will present on bleeding disorder signs\, symptoms\, and first-aid protocol. \nThis event is open to families with a child aged 0-7 who has a bleeding disorder and who are members of the Western\nPA Bleeding Disorders Foundation (WPBDF) or patients of the Hemophilia Center of Western PA (HCWP).\nTo register\, call the Foundation office at 724-741-6160 or email rsvp@wpbdf.org.
