Support Groups

Events are held throughout the year that provide opportunities for members of the hemophilia community to gather and discuss common issues in Northern, Central, and Southern Indiana locations. The groups invite speakers, and usually dinner and an informal evening comprise the group’s meeting (gas cards are provided.) The staff of Hemophilia of Indiana assists in organizing a group, securing a dinner sponsor, and providing leadership and communication tools until the group becomes established. If you would like to attend a support group meeting or start a new group in your area give the HoII offices a call. Information on groups and meetings is updated regularly on the calendar page. For Questions on any of our Support Groups contact Angel DiRuzza at 317-570-0039.
