MedPro Rx, Inc. Sponsors Hemophilia of North Carolina Adult Retreat

Raleigh, NC, April 01, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Nancy McFarlane, president of MedPro Rx, Inc. (www.medprorx.com), a provider of specialty pharmacy services to clients with chronic illnesses, has announced that the pharmacy is sponsoring Hemophilia of North Carolina’s (HNC) Adult Retreat on Saturday, April 19 and Sunday, April 20 at Hilton Garden Inn Wilmington Mayfaire Town Center, located at 6745 Rock Spring Road in Wilmington, N.C. Attendees can participate in Dr. Ron Potter-Efron’s workshop “Getting Your Head On Straight,” where they can discuss how they are affected mentally and emotionally by their bleeding disorders and learn how to deal with stress in a positive and optimistic manner. There will also be a Sunday brunch cruise on the Henrietta III, the state’s largest riverboat. The retreat is open to HNC members ages 21 and over who are living with bleeding disorders, and each attendee may bring one adult guest.

MedPro Rx is an Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Inc. provider (ACHC) whose services emphasize treatments for individuals with hemophilia, vWD, autoimmune neuromuscular disorders and other complex chronic conditions. Approximately one in every 5,000 males nationwide is born with hemophilia, affecting all racial and socioeconomic groups equally. People with hemophilia experience bleeding following an injury and may have frequent spontaneous bleeding episodes, often into the joints and muscles. More traumatic injuries may result in serious problems and potential disability. The three most common types of hemophilia are Hemophilia A or Factor VIII Deficiency, Hemophilia B or Factor IX Deficiency, and von Willebrand Disease (vWD). vWD is caused by a deficiency or defect of a clotting protein, and it affects approximately 1-2 percent of the United States population. Unlike hemophilia, vWD occurs equally among males and females and is more likely to cause nosebleeds and bleeding under the skin than into the joints.

“We are excited to sponsor this weekend to discuss and address the needs of adults living with bleeding disorders,” said McFarlane. “It will be an excellent opportunity for individuals from this community to spend time with each other and learn more about how to manage stress associated with bleeding disorders.”
