“I like to think that with the support of organizations like BDAND, people with bleeding disorders are not just dealing with their bleeding disorder, but thriving because of it.” - Carson

The Work of BDAND

BDAND is not just an alliance. We are a family, banded together to provide emergency support and education to those with bleeding disorders to equip them to live life to the fullest.

Knowing what works and what doesn’t work is so important. We facilitate small gatherings and seminars to teach on key topics that help individuals and families learn skills and gain confidence.

We help families and individuals face financial crisis due to unforeseen expenses associated with bleeding disorders.

Our Leadership
Emily Ouellette - Executive Director
Emily has been involved with the bleeding disorders community since 2016.

The board hiring committee hired Emily to become the new Executive Director in July, 2018. Emily has an education and French background and graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN. She has a passion for helping people and event planning. In her spare time she enjoys cooking, curling, travelling, and spending time with her husband Carson.
Miranda Solem - Board Chair
I am a licensed addiction counselor and mental health program administrator for Sanford Health in Thief River Falls, MN. I am originally from Bowman ND and graduated from NDSU where I met my husband. We have two daughters and one son and recently got our first family dog. My son, Kellen, was diagnosed with Hemophilia B when he was 5 months old due to a head bleed. We had no family history so having the BDAND family and the HTC was soooo important to our family! Now I have been a member of the board for the past 5-6 years and I feel grateful to be able to give back to this wonderful organization and continue learning.
