Happy Mother's Day

I hope it was a joyful and restful day for all the Mothers and Grandmothers today. These are the ladies in our lives that keep the rest of us from falling apart. Without them we'd be hungry, dirty, smelly and wrinkled.

So it's appropriate to remind everyone of Project Red Flag, NHF's awareness program for Women's Bleeding Disorders. The most common bleeding disorder for women is von Willebrand Disease (VWD).

Earlier this year the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued the first clinical guidelines in the United States for the diagnosis and management of VWD.

Here's the NHLBI press release.

And here's NHF's press release.
