VWD Diagnosed. Now What?
Receiving a diagnosis of von Willebrand disease (VWD) can bring relief—but it can also raise a whole new set of questions. What does this diagnosis mean? How do you find the right care? And how do you learn to advocate for yourself?
Join Jennifer Hastie, a patient advocate living with VWD Type 2B, as she shares her remarkable journey to diagnosis after decades of unexplained bleeding. Jennifer's story is one of perseverance, resilience, and learning to navigate a complex healthcare system.
In this inspiring webinar, Jennifer will discuss:
Her long and challenging path to a VWD diagnosis
Recognizing abnormal bleeding and trusting your instincts
Working with healthcare providers and advocating for appropriate care
Treatment approaches that have helped manage her bleeding disorder
Lessons learned from raising two children who also have VWD
Finding confidence and community after diagnosis
Whether you've recently been diagnosed, are still searching for answers, or are supporting someone with VWD, this webinar offers practical insights, encouragement, and hope from someone who has lived the experience.
Bring your questions! During registration, you'll have the opportunity to submit questions in advance, and Jennifer will answer as many as possible during the live Q&A session.
