Enhance Your Hemophilia Treatment Program with a Customized Nutrition Program

The Problem:

• Hemophilia medications can cause debilitating side effects
• Desmopressin (DDAVP) can cause fluid retention, increased blood pressure, flushing and headaches.
• Antifibrinolytic Agents (Amicar, Cyklokapron) can cause GI discomfort, low blood pressure, flushing and headaches.
• Clotting factors may cause various viral infections that decrease your immune system function
• No hemophilia treatment program targets symptom reduction
• Primary treatment does not address bruising, joint pain and inflammation, fatigue, poor bone health and avoidance of viral and bacterial infections

The Solution:

• Introducing advanced custom nutrition from ChronoMed!
• Vitamin programs custom tailored to your hemophilia needs
• 25% less expensive than comparable products sold at retail

Lifetime Caps

Interview with Gregory Malia

The following excerpt was taken from Walgreens HemAware, Volume #10, Issue 3
Is Quality Care A Matter Of Choice?

New Life Homecare, based in Pittston, Pennsylvania, serves about 50 patients and was founded in 2000 by Father Greg Malia, an Episcopal priest who has severe hemophilia. Malia says he founded the company because he saw the need for an advocate between the patient and the HTC. “Service had declined so much, and there was no real service provided for the life needs that those with hemophilia regularly experience, which accounts for the overwhelming numbers of those winding up on entitlement programs,” he says. New Life Homecare, which provides all standard services, also wants “to encourage people to try to be as independent as possible from the system and to create self-sustaining ways, like creating their own businesses,” Malia says. “It’s not really that complex to have a small business with two or three other family members. If they agree to do that, we help them.” With their own business, people with hemophilia can obtain community rates on their health insurance, he says.

NewLife Team: Dawn Litchey

Dawn E. Litchey: Pharmacy Supervisor/Client Advocate

Dawn was born and raised in North East Pennsylvania. She is the youngest of four children, two sisters and one brother. Dawn's older brother Mike had hemophilia and has since passed away. Because hemophilia was in her genetic background she knew that there could be a chance that she was a carrier for the disorder and took appropriate prenatal measures. At first her son Christopher showed no signs of having hemophilia. It wasn't until a few days letter that she heard the news, not only did her son have hemophilia, but he had a very severe case of the disorder. It was then that Dawn promised herself and her son that she would learn anything she could about his disorder, and that everything would be okay.

Dawn made it her mission to research everything she could find on hemophilia. It became her goal to understand hemophilia and its treatment, and how to protect her son from bleeds. Dawn became involved in both the hemophilia and HIV community. She was an HIV/AIDS educator and traveled all over the United States educating individuals about the disorder. She has served in several roles and on the boards of hemophilia organizations and has been an activist on the most prominent issues facing the community.

Dawn had five more children, while two were free from hemophilia; the other four have various issues and severities of the disorder. In 2001 Dawn was contacted by Gregory Malia the founder of NewLife Home Care. She was touched by how caring and genuine Gregory was with her and her sons. She appreciated that he did not just want to provide products to the bleeding disorder community but that he truly cared, and wanted to individualize the care required for each client, and provide whatever services would be beneficial to their physical and emotional needs.
