2025 Partners Program Funders

The Partners Program is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a generous multi-year financial commitment from Cascade Hemophilia Consortium to support the important work of Partners. This multi-year grant is vital support for program sustainability and will enable the program to continue delivering high-quality educational opportunities and resources to HTC staff nationally.

Additionally, the Partners Program has been awarded significant independent medical education grants from Sanofi; Genentech, a member of the Roche Group; and Novo Nordisk for the 2025 Partners Program year. These substantial awards will have a meaningful impact on our programming.

The Hemophilia Alliance and The Alliance Pharmacy have been the Partners Physician Academy’s premier and supporting sponsors since the program’s inception in 2022. Partners is extremely grateful for their continued support for the 2025 Academy program year.

Partners Program activities are offered at no cost to participants, all costs are covered by the program to ensure that costs do not prevent attendance by staff at centers that lack financial resources to support education. Grant funding each year is critical to help cover costs.

The Partners Program would like to extend our deepest gratitude to these funding organizations for their belief in our mission and their commitment to advancing education for the bleeding disorder community.
