MedPro Rx, Inc. Awards 45 Scholarships to Students Nationwide
Specialty Pharmacy Has Donated More Than $200,000 Through “Education Is Power” Program
Raleigh, NC, October 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Nancy McFarlane, president of MedPro Rx, Inc. (http://www.medprorx.com), a provider of specialty pharmacy services to clients with chronic illnesses who need clotting factor, IVIg and other medication, has announced that the pharmacy awarded 45 scholarships in 15 states as part of its 2010 scholarship program. Since starting its “Education is Power” scholarship program in 2006, MedPro Rx has distributed more than $200,000 to students nationwide who have either hemophilia or von Willebrand Disease (vWD). The annual scholarships are open to U.S. residents who are living with a bleeding disorder, entering or attending a community college, junior college, four-year college, university or vocational school, and active in their community.
Hemophilia is a rare, hereditary disorder that causes excessive bleeding to occur spontaneously or after injury. The bleeding may be external or internal into joints, muscles, the abdominal cavity, the brain and other organs. Hemophilia affects approximately 20,000 people nationwide, crossing all racial and socioeconomic groups, with a higher incidence among males. The three most common types of hemophilia are Hemophilia A or Factor VIII Deficiency, Hemophilia B or Factor IX Deficiency, and von Willebrand Disease (vWD). Von Willebrand Disease is caused by a deficiency or defect of a clotting protein, and it affects approximately 1-2 percent of the United States population. Unlike hemophilia, vWD occurs equally among males and females and is more likely to cause nosebleeds and bleeding under the skin than into the joints.
