Sabrina Farina, LMSW
Why BD SUMHAC?
"I am participating in this coalition to support our patients in gaining access to inpatient residential substance use disorder and mental health treatment facilities. Through patient stories, I have learned firsthand the various ways patients with bleeding disorders experience issues of discrimination much more than the general population. By building relationships with these inpatient facilities, in advance, collaborating with them, and providing education to their medical staff, patients will be able to focus on their behavioral health care as opposed to worrying about whether they will be admitted.”
