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.
