Educational Dinner: Treatment Option for Hemophilia B
On Wednesday, February 5 at 6 PM, we are hosting an educational dinner with CSL Behring at Il Massimo in Dedham, MA. Here, patients will learn about HEMGENIX, a long-term treatment option for patients with hemophilia B.
Attendees will be treated to dinner, receive resources on how to treat hemophilia B from Dr. Richard Lemons, MD, PhD, and have a chance to ask questions in this relaxed environment.
Dr. Lemons is the medical director and division chief and a professor of pediatrics in the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at the University of Utah. He is also director of the pediatric hematology oncology fellowship program at the University of Utah.
