News and newsletters

What we publish, and what we are reading.

Lone Star publishes two newsletters, and they are not the same thing. Factor Friends is the printed one — it arrives in the mail and every issue is readable here. The Bleeding Edge is the email one, shorter and more often.

To receive either one, fill in the membership form — the same form covers both, and it asks which you want. You do not need it to read anything here: every past issue of Factor Friends is on this page for anyone.

Below both of those is a shorter list: the bleeding disorders publications we read ourselves. Those are other organizations' work, updating on their own schedules, and they are here because they are worth following.

The printed newsletter

Factor Friends

Spring and fall, in English and Spanish. Every issue is readable here, front to back.

The email newsletter

The Bleeding Edge

Shorter than Factor Friends and more frequent: what is coming up, what just happened, and anything from the treatment centers or the Capitol that families need to know about now rather than in six months.

It goes out through the same list as Factor Friends.

What we are reading

Feeds from other organizations, updating on their own schedules. We do not write any of these, and a headline appearing here is not a recommendation of a treatment — your treatment center is who to ask about your own care.
