| The Neutropenia Family Conference is a life-changing event for patients and families. The Conference gives them the rare opportunity to meet with expert physicians who have treated many patients with neutropenia as well as devoting many years of their professional life to research related to this bone marrow failure condition. Twenty eight private patient-physician consultations took place at the 2015 Family Conference. For some patients these meetings resulted in life-changing advice. In addition to educational sessions, programs are designed to give patients and families plenty of time to meet and mingle. With the isolation that comes from living with a rare disease like neutropenia, this is a rare and wonderful opportunity. Children had a fantastic time at Neutropenia Kids Kamp where activities centered on understanding their disease are an important part of the program while having fun is the centerpiece. They leave camp with new friends and with a sense of belonging that often eludes them in their daily life. The 2015 Family Conference also gave patients access to the professional staff at the Severe Chronic Neutropenia International Registry. Many patients have worked with the staff for decades but never met them. This was a moving and meaningful experience for both staff and patients. Many of our patients experience major financial challenges as part of living with a rare disease. Some face daunting medical bills and income loss as they grapple with neutropenia. They cannot attend the Conference without financial assistance. We were able to help eleven families attended the 2015 Family Conference with the help of hardship grants awarded to cover partial expenses. | $4,745 | $50,280 |
| With the internet serving as the primary information source for patients seeking knowledge about their neutropenia, our website Neutropenianet.org provides a reliable resource to help them sort through the confusion and misguided advice that can come from visiting various social networking sites. Neutropenianet.org provides the latest information related to diagnosis and treatment of neutropenia in a language that is accessible to the layperson. Information from our website is often used by patients to help educate their physicians who rarely have any experience treating this disease. In 2015 we mailed out well over a hundred Patient Information Packets requested through our website. The packet includes: a patient handbook authored by expert physicians and a customizable ER card to present to hospital emergency personnel, and our most recent newsletters. Information packets are shipped at no cost to patients and families. The website gives patients who cannot attend the Conference an alternate option as they can watch videos of educational sessions presented by top experts on neutropenia at the Family Conference. Patient stories are another popular feature of our website. The firsthand knowledge of the struggle other patients face eases the isolation that comes from living with an extremely rare disease. We respond personally to hundreds of inquiries from patients and families seeking specific information or guidance related to their neutropenia. In 2015 we had over 25,000 new visitors to our website with average page sessions nearly two minutes. Over 6,000 returning visitors spent an average of 2.58 minutes per visit. For some patients their visit to our website opens up a new path for them, one that leads to medical information and care that changes their life. | $0 | $1,588 |
| The National Neutropenia Network produces a newsletter filled with information of clinical interest and medical value to patients. We include stories on the latest treatment and features on individuals with exceptional experiences managing their neutropenia. It reaches close to 800 patients. For those patients who do not use the internet, many of them seniors, the newsletter is a valuable benefit. | $0 | $2,105 |

| Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 | We give financial support through patient assistance grants to individuals and families who cannot afford the full cost of attending the Neutropenia Family Conference. The grants are usually partial but make attendance possible for families experiencing the stress and financial difficulties of living with a rare and chronic disease. This can be life-changing for some patients as it can lead to better understanding and more effective management of their chronic neutropenia. |
| Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 | "Other expenses" are primarily related to the cost of producing the Neutropenia Family Conference. They include the travel and lodging expenses of physicians, presenters and Conference staff; audio visual services; the children's two day camp program; printed materials distributed at the Conference and website costs related to registering and tracking participants. They also covered the expense of professionally videoing Conference presentations and educational sessions which are now available for all who visit neutropenianet.org. |
