Member Meetings FAQs

The Hemophilia Alliance hosts eight in-person meetings each year, including four that offer discipline-focused Continuing Education Units (CEUs). These meetings are a member benefit designed to strengthen HTC sustainability by fostering networking, peer-to-peer support, and the exchange of best practices. Below is a brief overview of the purpose and funding for each meeting type:

The Spring and Fall Member Meetings
These legacy meetings give attendees the opportunity to hear updates from Team Alliance on key areas such as advocacy, policy, compliance and emerging payer issues. Innovative HTC initiatives and emerging hot topics are also discussed. All disciplines from member HTCs are encouraged to participate.

Hemophilia Alliance Federal Advocacy Hill Day
Hill Day takes place once annually, coinciding with either the Spring or Fall Members Meeting. We invite patients and families from member HTCs to share their lived experiences with bleeding disorders with members of Congress. Conversations focus on educating lawmakers on the vital role of the 340B program in sustaining the comprehensive care model provided by HTCs.

The New HTC Staff Meeting
This meeting is designed for staff who are new to member HTCs or who have taken on a role with greater focus on 340B and operations. It jumpstarts understanding of the bleeding disorders community and 340B, helps participants connect with colleagues, and highlights the benefits and services available through Hemophilia Alliance. It is recommended members have at least six months of experience at their HTC to optimally benefit from this meeting.

The Medical Providers and Business Administrators (MPBA) Meeting
This meeting brings together clinical and business leaders from HTCs to meet, learn, and plan for the future. Its purpose is to strengthen collaboration between clinical and administrative teams, deepen shared understanding, engage the community, and support long term sustainability of the HTC model.

The Discipline-Specific Continuing Education (CE) Meetings
These four meetings – the Pharmacist CE Meeting, the Linda Gammage Social Worker Conference, the Physical Therapist CE Meeting, and the Nurses CE Meeting – each provides CEUs and is organized by a planning committee of experts in hemophilia and related bleeding disorders from member HTCs. These meetings are designed to address educational gaps not covered by other programs.

For Member Meetings and Hill Day, Hemophilia Alliance coordinates accommodations and funds group meals. Members are responsible for funding their own travel and hotel accommodations. For the New HTC Staff Meeting, MPBA Meeting, and CE Meetings, Hemophilia Alliance coordinates and funds participants’ flights, hotel accommodations (room and tax), and group meals.
