Women’s bleeding issues continue to present specific challenges with diagnosis, treatment and access.  

Heavy menstrual bleeding can lead to anemia (low red blood cell count/low blood iron levels), with symptoms of fatigue, paleness, lack of energy and shortness of breath.

Many women with bleeding disorders are also caregivers of a child with a bleeding disorder and self-care can be challenging.

This retreat presents an opportunity to carve out time for yourself, laugh with your blood sisters and learn how to advocate for your own treatment.

Open to women, those who identify as women, and teen girls ages 11+.

A limited number of scholarships are available for the 2025 Women’s Retreat to cover registration fees. Please reach out to Omar Torres (omar@hemosocal.org or 626-765-6656) and submit application prior to January 17, 2025.
