It is with immense gratitude and enthusiasm that I step into the role of Executive Director of this remarkable organization. The mission of HFNC since 1958—to empower and support individuals with bleeding disorders—is one I am deeply passionate about, and I am honored to join this community as we work together to enhance the lives of those we serve.
Dr. Marion Koerper passed away early Wednesday morning, December 18, 2024, after a courageous battle with glioblastoma. She was a professor emerita (she would be pleased that I got the Latin correct) of pediatric hematology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the founder of the UCSF Hemophilia Treatment Center. Her father and her mother named her Marion with an “o” to help her overcome the gender barriers in medical education during an era when women were rarely admitted to medical schools.
