Some experiences continue to shape us long after they've ended.
For Brittany Acton, Caitlyn Lee, and Anaïs Aghaby-Cloutier, attending the WFH 2026 World Congress was about more than science. It was an opportunity to build connections, strengthen their voices as advocates, and reaffirm their commitment to improving care.
Their reflections remind us that progress is driven not only by scientific advances, but also by the people, experiences, and partnerships that strengthen our global bleeding disorders community.
We invite you to read their stories!
