VWD Retreat

Although Von Willebrand Disease affects males and females in equal proportions, we do focus most of our VWD programming on females as they tend to exhibit more symptoms due to their monthly periods and childbirth.  The highlight of the VWD program is the annual weekend retreat that is stricly for the ladies! Here, mothers and daughters come together in beautiful Hocking Hills to get away from their everyday world and connect with other women who also have to deal with VWD.  Participants take part in guided discussions, but they also have plenty of time to relax, bond with one another and have a little bit of fun, summer camp style.

You don’t have to be a mother/daughter pair to participate.  Anyone with VWD is welcome to attend.

Throughout the rest of the year, the VWD Program Coordinator will organize other events to reconvene everyone and bring other women into the mix.
