At the recommendation of NEHA’s Medical Advisors and Board of Directors, and following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we have transitioned FallFest to be a hybrid event, with events happening virtually and in a socially-distant outdoor setting.

Each Fall, the New England Hemophilia Association (NEHA) hosts our annual meeting, called FallFest. At FallFest, NEHA will provide educational programming for adults, teenagers (13+), and kids (2–12 years old).

FallFest will now be held over three days:

• Saturday October 16 at 11 AM: In-Person Activities and Education at Sherman Farm in Center Conway, NH.
• Wednesday, October 20 at 7 PM: Annual Meeting & Meet the Board Webinar.
• Saturday, October 23 at 9 AM: Virtual Educational Sessions.

Please see our full schedule of events below.
