by Marketing & Operations Team

Our mighty team of 4 is often ‘the men and women behind the curtain’ as we plan meetings, keep the website running, and burry our noses in data, but last month we got to stretch our legs and spend some time touring one of our member HTCs at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando, FL. Getting to see first-hand all of the hard work and dedication that goes into running an HTC was both exciting and eye-opening. Meeting with the team of nurses, providers, physical therapist, social worker, and program coordinator, we got to see the comprehensive care model in action, and we enjoyed discussing some of the new changes and challenges facing HTCs today.

As a special treat, the Arnold Palmer team gave us a demonstration of a new infusion education tool that they have developed called VainSim (Venous Access Infusion Simulator). VainSim allows patients to practice self-administering their medication safely and confidently. We were able to test this tool and we can’t wait to see the impact that this is going to have on the bleeding disorders community and beyond. While we love getting to see everyone at our member meetings, experiences like this remind us why WE WORK FOR YOU!
