As the world’s largest professional society serving clinicians and scientists around the world who are working to conquer blood diseases, ASH is fighting for hematology in the face of executive orders and other federal actions that threaten hematology research and, ultimately, the care of patients.

ASH has created the #Fight4Hematology Action Hub to keep you up-to-date on ASH's efforts and provide four easy ways you can get involved to protect the future of hematology research and advances in patient care. Together, we can drive meaningful change!
