The Hemophilia Federation of America (HFA) champions the rights and protection of people with bleeding disorders. Established in 1994 as a nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization, the HFA has continuously addressed the evolving needs of the bleeding disorders community. The HFA’s ongoing consumer advocacy agenda includes product safety, as well as accessibility, affordability, and availability of the products the individuals of this community require.

Based in Washington, D.C., the HFA works in conjunction with other national and state organizations on behalf of those who have bleeding disorders. Its officers and staff maintain a highly visible presence, representing the bleeding disorders community on Capitol Hill and speaking regularly before the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other key agencies. The HFA strives to educate the community and provide tools that give the community a voice at state and federal legislatures. Visit HFA’s Legislative Action Center to get involved.

HFA member organizations across the country utilize the organization’s collaborative federation to strengthen community support and awareness, develop effective local organizations, and implement valuable community-based programs. These programs include a wide range of adult outreach initiatives, as well as broad-based support for families. HFA’s programs include the Helping Hands, Dads in Action, Teen Connection, Focus on the Feminine, Blood Brotherhood, New Families and DC Intensives.
