Millions of Americans are affected by blood disorders each year, which is why it is important for everyone to know about the risk factors, symptoms, and prevention strategies for these disorders.
Developed by the American Society of Hematology (ASH), the Blood: The Vital Connection campaign aims to raise awareness about the importance of healthy blood and about the most common blood diseases, such as anemia, bleeding and clotting disorders, and blood cancers. Help us reach this goal by sharing information about this campaign and blood disorders with your community.
