Lifelines for Health Digital Digest is an opportunity to share the latest updates for the bleeding disorder community. The articles selected align with CHES's mission: We inspire self-awareness and self-reliance in individuals with chronic health conditions, their families, and their communities. We empower them to engage with their treatment, to live life to its fullest, and, in turn, to inspire others.

We hope you use this newsletter to share critical links, increase awareness about all bleeding disorders, and increase education.
Thank you for being a part of the CHES community!
Have a safe and fun end of summer!
