NBDF wants to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to our entire bleeding disorders community. Our mission—enabling every person and family affected by bleeding disorders to thrive—remains unchanged. We stand resolute in our dedication to strengthening equitable healthcare access across our diverse nation, ensuring no one faces their bleeding disorder journey alone.
To our community members including marginalized and minoritized populations, women, immigrant families, persons with disabilities, transgender, LGBTQIA, rural and frontier populations, low income, low literacy, English learner, and all who face healthcare barriers: we see you, we hear you, and we stand with you. Your experiences shape our work and drive our mission forward.
Health equity means meeting people and communities where they are and providing what they need to become healthier within the environment where they live, work, worship, play and learn. Within health equity, we must recognize that people and communities are diverse in their experiences and backgrounds.
NBDF is deeply committed to fostering diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and access (DEIBA), promoting health equity, and combating racism, homophobia, xenophobia and classism. We will continue our Health Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (HEDI) strategic approaches and priority population efforts.
We also recognize the unique challenges faced by minority and marginalized populations and are committed to addressing these through comprehensive education, robust advocacy, impactful research and programming.
In partnership with community members, healthcare partners and industry stakeholders we will continue to:
- Amplify our Lived Experience Experts' (LEEs) voices
- Promote health equity, diversity and inclusion at NBDF
- Recognize and support Women, Girls and People with the Potential to Menstruate (WGPPM)
- Strengthen support for underserved communities
- Advocate for inclusive policies that serve all community members
Our hope is to build a future where every person with a bleeding disorder can access quality care and live life to the fullest.
Our ongoing efforts are focused on ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their background, have access to the resources and support they need. NBDF stands firmly in its belief that healthcare decisions must be between a person/family and their healthcare providers. We look forward to continued collaboration with all stakeholders in pursuit of our shared goals for equitable healthcare access.
Together, we can create a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
