Southwestern Ohio Hemophilia Foundation

The Southwestern Ohio Hemophilia Foundation (SWOHF) is a nonprofit organization based in Dayton, Ohio, dedicated to improving the quality of life for people affected by hemophilia, von Willebrand disease and other bleeding disorders. According to its own mission statement, SWOHF pursues this goal by providing support, education, networking, advocacy and services to individuals, their families and the wider community. The foundation is registered as an Ohio Corporation For Non-Profit, filed on April 2, 1997, and it operates from offices at 11 West Monument Avenue, Suite 605, in Dayton. SWOHF's work is organized around three broad pillars that it presents publicly as educate, support and advocate. On the education side, the foundation maintains a resource library explaining bleeding disorders — conditions characterized by the inability to form a proper blood clot, whether inherited or acquired, and caused by defects or deficiencies in platelets or the body's thirteen clotting factors. On the support side, SWOHF runs educational programs and community connection events throughout the year, including an annual 5K walk that serves as both a fundraiser and a community gathering. On the advocacy side, the foundation works to keep its community informed about legislation and policy issues that may affect people with bleeding disorders, encouraging members to take action. As a community nonprofit, SWOHF relies on donations and on partnerships with industry sponsors and other organizations. Its published list of industry partners and sponsors includes pharmaceutical and healthcare companies such as Bayer, CSL Behring, Genentech, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Takeda, Sanofi, Optum, Accredo and InfuCareRx, alongside care and community organizations such as Dayton Children's, the Hemophilia Alliance of Hemophilia Federation of America (HFA), the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF), and local supporters including Butler Heating & Air Conditioning, Cascade, Colburn Keenan, Paragon and Soleo. The foundation also points members toward additional resources from the World Federation of Hemophilia and the National Hemophilia Foundation. SWOHF serves southwestern Ohio and the surrounding region, connecting patients and families with one another and with the broader national bleeding disorders community. Its website, built on the Firespring platform, functions as the hub for its programs, events, news and donation appeals, and it maintains regular weekday office hours for direct contact by phone or email.

The Southwestern Ohio Hemophilia Foundation was established as an Ohio Corporation For Non-Profit, with a filing date of April 2, 1997, according to the foundation's own mission and history page. It was created to serve people in southwestern Ohio living with hemophilia, von Willebrand disease and other bleeding disorders, a population that requires ongoing access to specialized care, education and community support. From its base in Dayton, Ohio, the foundation built its work around a mission of improving quality of life through support, education, networking, advocacy and services for individuals, their families and the community. Over the years it developed a recurring calendar of educational programs and community connection events, including an annual 5K walk that combines fundraising with community building. It also assembled a resource library explaining the nature of bleeding disorders — the inability to form a proper blood clot, whether inherited or acquired, and the role of platelets and the body's thirteen clotting factors — and it directs families to further material from the World Federation of Hemophilia and the National Hemophilia Foundation. As a nonprofit, SWOHF depends on donations and sponsorships. Its published partner and sponsor list reflects the structure of the modern bleeding disorders ecosystem: pharmaceutical and plasma companies such as Bayer, CSL Behring, Genentech, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Takeda and Sanofi; specialty pharmacy and care providers such as Accredo, Optum, InfuCareRx and Paragon; care institutions such as Dayton Children's; and community and advocacy organizations such as the Hemophilia Alliance, the Hemophilia Federation of America (HFA) and the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF). Local businesses including Butler Heating & Air Conditioning, Cascade, Colburn Keenan and Soleo also appear among its supporters. The foundation maintains offices at 11 West Monument Avenue, Suite 605, in Dayton and keeps regular weekday office hours, with contact by phone and email. Its website, hosted on the Firespring platform, serves as the primary channel for its programs, events, news and donation appeals, and it continues to operate as an active community organization for the region's bleeding disorders population.
