NBDF will be hosting Washington Days March 3–6, 2026.
This annual event brings together individuals and families affected by bleeding disorders for a powerful, advocacy-focused experience on Capitol Hill. Washington Days is your opportunity to share your story directly with your elected representatives and help them understand what daily life looks like when living with a bleeding disorder.

From access to life-saving medications, to insurance protections, to the need for continued research and support services, your voice plays a critical role in shaping policies that impact our community.

Join us as we come together to educate, advocate, and make a meaningful difference for everyone living with a bleeding disorder.

Please complete the Washington Days application thoroughly so we can process all submissions before the deadline. Applicants will be notified by Makenna Dietrich during the week of January 12, 2026 regarding acceptance into the 2026 Washington Days program.

Join us for a meaningful adult retreat designed to inform, empower, and connect. Throughout the weekend, we’ll dive into important topics including understanding insurance changes and how to navigate your health plan, breaking down Medicaid and Medicare, and exploring the role of physical therapy in staying active and healthy. This retreat offers a supportive space to learn, ask questions, and gain practical tools you can use in everyday life.
