Local Vermonters go to D.C. to raise hemophilia awareness

Members of the New England Hemophilia Association and their families went to Washington, D.C., to lobby Senators and Representatives for support. Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder where blood doesn’t properly clot and affects around 30,000 American adults and children. Vermont was represented by Ian Cornell, his brothers Kaleb Cornell and Levi Cornell, and their mother, Joannah Roush. They met with Staff from the offices of Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Peter Welch, and Representative Becca Balint. They shared their situations and stories and requested support to protect continued access to the healthcare that so many children and adults rely on daily.
