Tennessee Hemophilia & Bleeding Disorders Foundation

Tennessee Hemophilia & Bleeding Disorders Foundation Our Mission: To enhance the lives of those affected by bleeding disorders. An estimated 280,000 males and females live with Von Willebrand disease.

About Blood Disorders
A bleeding disorder is a genetic blood clotting deficiency caused by the absence or inactivity of an essential blood clotting protein, or “factor.” This deficiency causes the body to form unstable blood clots that allow bleeding to continue longer than normal. A person with a bleeding disorder can experience frequent and often spontaneous episodes of prolonged bleeding. The most severe cases can have extensive bleeding into joints, muscles and vital organs, resulting in life-threatening emergencies and crippling long-term complications. Hemophilia and related bleeding disorders, such as Von Willebrand disease, are genetically inherited. However, one in three diagnosed cases of hemophilia results from a spontaneous genetic mutation where there is no family history of abnormal bleeding. Approximately 20,000 people in the United States are affected by Hemophilia, which occurs almost exclusively in males.

Our Annual Day on the Hill was a meaningful and inspiring day for the THBDF community! 🇺🇸

It was an especially busy day for Congress, so we weren’t able to have as many meetings as usual, but we are incredibly grateful for the offices that took the time to meet with us and listen to our community’s stories.

We also had the opportunity to sit in on an amazing House committee hearing where HR 1959 was voted on and passed. While the bill our community is advocating for, SB 420, wasn’t able to be voted on during this session, there is still time and important work ahead.

Now it’s time to keep the momentum going. Let’s get to work, community! Your voices and advocacy truly make a difference.

We had an incredible time representing THBDF during Washington Days in Washington, D.C.! 🇺🇸

Our team had the opportunity to meet with congressional offices and advocate for access to care for the communities we serve. These conversations are essential to ensuring that individuals and families have the resources and support they need to live healthier lives.

A special thank you to the amazing staffers who took the time to meet with us, listen, and engage in meaningful discussion about the importance of access to care. Your openness and dedication truly make a difference.

We’re proud to represent THBDF as well as NBDF and continue advocating for policies that strengthen our communities.

Today we stand with the rare disease community.

The fighters, the caregivers, the families, and the children who show courage every single day.

Rare Disease Day reminds us that “rare” does not mean alone. It means resilient. It means strong. It means seen.

At THBDF, we are honored to walk alongside this community, offering support, connection, and hope. 💜
