Hemophilia of Georgia operates an annual summer camp program for children and teens with hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. Camp is typically held in the summer (which may include the Fourth of July) and runs Saturday-Friday, and the date changes each year. Camp is an agency-wide, strategic priority; therefore, all exempt employees must participate. Assignments may include duties at camp, helping campers get to and from camp, and may involve overnight travel.

The Director of Camp & Client Events will provide advance notice to exempt employees of where support is needed. PTO requests during the week of camp are generally not approved; however, PTO requests for extenuating circumstances will be reviewed on a case-by‑case basis by the Chief Community Engagement Officer.

The Outreach Nurse functions as a member of the comprehensive care team at the hemophilia treatment center. The Outreach Nurse provides consultation and education to schools, hospitals, physicians’ offices, and other community resources.
