HoG Nurses Top 5 Tips For Living Your Best Life With A Bleeding Disorder!
As the new year begins, many people will think about ways to improve their health because of the impact that has on our lives and overall well-being. Hemophilia of Georgia (HoG) patients and their families know the critical role HoG Outreach Nurses have on their health and the significant impact they can have on their well-being. To many, our Outreach Nurses feel like family and are often the first people patients call when they are having a health challenge. Their goal is to help people with bleeding disorders live as normally and productively as possible.
With that in mind our Director of Nursing, Jennifer Crabbe, and her team of Outreach Nurses put together a top 5 list of tips for living a healthier life with a bleeding disorder:
1. Get an annual comprehensive checkup at a Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC)
2. Treat bleeding events early and adequately
3. Exercise and maintain a healthy weight to protect your joints
4. Perform routine dental care
5. Prioritize your mental health
