MedPro Rx, Inc. Sponsors Hemophilia of North Carolina Educational Family Retreat

Raleigh, NC, July 31, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Nancy McFarlane, president of MedPro Rx, Inc. (www.medprorx.com), a provider of specialty pharmacy services to clients with chronic illnesses who need clotting factor, IVIg and other medication, has announced that the pharmacy is a Commander sponsor of the Hemophilia of North Carolina (HNC) Family Retreat, which will be held Aug. 12-14 at the Trinity Center in Pine Knolls Shores, N.C. The retreat promises be a great opportunity for children with bleeding disorders along with their parents, offering a fun atmosphere while at the same time providing support and raising awareness.

As a specialty infusion pharmacy, MedPro Rx is an Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Inc. provider (ACHC) whose services emphasize treatments for individuals with hemophilia, von Willebrand Disease (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 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 HNC’s August family retreat,” said McFarlane. “It’s a fun environment for children and also extremely educational for the parents.”
