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.

 The new format aims for a cleaner look and an easy way to share these critical links, increased awareness about all bleeding disorders, and increased education.
We look forward to hearing your feedback. Thank you for being a part of the CHES community.

Best, 
Heather Case, Director of Advocacy and Outreach and the whole CHES team
