In 2004, the Canadian Hemophilia Society, with the support of Baxter BioScience initiated a new program aimed at empowering people with bleeding disorders, at all stages of their lives, to maximize their quality of life.
The Passport to well-being Program will provide people with bleeding disorders, at all stages of their lives, with information, skills and strategies to enable them to maximize their quality of life.
- Have access to INFORMATIVE BOOKLETS
- Watch out for NEWSLETTERS in the mail

Passport to well-being is designed around 6 modules which focus on:
Charting Your Course
Improving the treatment of bleeding disorders through innovative monitoring of product usage
Destination Fitness
Helping patients to develop personalized fitness plans to improve overall health
Homecare: The Road to Independence
Helping patients take greater control of their disease through home treatment
Roadmap for Managing Pain
Raising awareness of ways to manage the pain that is so common to people with bleeding disorders.
Navigating the ER
Helping people with bleeding disorders prepare for visits to the Emergency Room.
Bon Voyage! Travelling with a Bleeding Disorder
Helping people with bleeding disorders reduce the risks of travel so they can enjoy their adventure to its fullest.
Key messages relating to these themes will be communicated through educational booklets, newsletters and workshops targeted at children, adults and caregivers of people with bleeding disorders. Participants in the program will each receive a personal passport which they will have stamped with a visa when they take part in a workshop or related activity.
