Educational Resources
We have created a Client Resources page to provide some materials we typically use in educating clients and their communities on inherited bleeding disorders.
In addition, we also offer the Hemophilia of Georgia Library, which includes books, videos and DVDs covering all aspects of hemophilia and inherited bleeding disorders as well as topics like child development and coping with chronic illness.
Hemophilia of Georgia clients can access these library materials by contacting HoG Director of Health Education or their Outreach Nurse at 770-518-8272. People outside Georgia can order educational publications through HANDI, the information clearinghouse of the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation, by calling 1-800-424-2634.
