Program Overview(Speakers and topics subject to change.) |
Bad Blood chronicles how a "miracle" treatment for hemophilia became an agent of death for 10,000 Americans. Faced with evidence that pharmaceutical companies and government regulators knew the product was contaminated with deadly viruses, the hemophilia community launched a powerful and inspiring fight to right the system that failed them and to make it safer for all.
We will have child care for all ages. Daycare and babysitting will be provided by Nannys Plus Mobile Childcare Service.
Child care for infants and toddlers age 3 and under will be available in breakout rooms near the main session hall.
Children 4-8 & 9-12: Children will participate in a variety of activities throughout the day, including "My Amazing Blood" (ages 4-8) and "Junior Scientist" (ages 9-12) where they will learn more about their bleeding disorder, plus a magic show, crafts, games, and more. The children will be either separated by age group or all together depending on the specific activities.
Morning programs will include sessions on how to be an advocate, and using ultrasound in the care of bleeding disorders. After lunch the teens will depart for the Inner Peaks Climbing Center, a 13,000 square foot indoor rock climbing facility.
Please indicate in the registration form comments if your teen will NOT be participating in the teen programming. Parents of all rock climbing participants must complete an Inner Peaks E-WAIVER.
Participants should bring or wear comfortable clothes suitable for rock climbing. Athletic shorts and a T-shirt are recommended, along with closed-toe athletic shoes. All instruction will be provided by certified instructors.
All children and teen activities are optional, so please let us know if you do not plan to take advantage of these wonderful activities.
