Horizons in Hemophilia, May 2024
Tom W. has been a lifelong patient of Hemophilia of Georgia (HoG). When he was an infant, he was in his mother’s arms when they were in a car crash and ended up with a large knot on his head from the impact. His doctor wisely suggested testing for hemophilia since he had a known family history of it.
National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6 and ends on May 12, Florence Nightingale's birthday. Just as Nightingale carried her lamp through the night to check on wounded soldiers, today’s nurses have shined their light on everyone in our community.
The Hemophilia of Georgia (HoG) community gathered on Sunday, April 14th, to express gratitude and celebrate the outstanding volunteers who served in 2023. At the Volunteer Appreciation event, attendees enjoyed a wonderful afternoon filled with camaraderie, surrounded by loved ones, and treated to a delicious lunch and entertainment provided at Eclipse Di Luna.
