NEHA provides the New England bleeding disorders community opportunities to engage and work directly with policy makers, regulators, industry stakeholders, and the media to address concerns and find solutions to the problems they face. In support of this, the organization teaches members of the bleeding disorders community (1) how to advocate for themselves and their families and (2) how to use their voices to promote positive changes to healthcare.

NEHA’s advocacy tasks include, but are not limited to:

• Identifying and researching public policy issues,
• Providing testimony and policy recommendations that encourage innovative solutions to the bleeding disorders community’s concerns,
• Educating policymakers to assist their efforts to improve public policies for individuals with bleeding disorders,
• Helping people with bleeding disorders and their families advocate for themselves, and
• Coordinating grassroots advocacy efforts in each of the six New England states.
