A grassroots network, built by the people it serves.
To provide advocacy, education, and support services for individuals living with blood health disorders and other health-related conditions, with a focus on the Black community and marginalized populations in Saskatchewan.
A future where every person living with a blood-related disorder or chronic health condition receives equitable care, is empowered with knowledge, and thrives within a supportive, inclusive community — where everyone feels seen and heard.
“Because every drop matters.
Empowering lives through health awareness.”
Why BHASNet exists
The Blood Health Awareness and Support Network of Saskatchewan (BHASNet) is a registered charitable non-profit founded in response to the growing need for culturally relevant health awareness and patient-centred advocacy. We work to improve health outcomes through targeted outreach, public education, community empowerment, and healthcare collaboration — supporting patients, families, and caregivers with the resources, counselling, and capacity-building programs that address the realities of living with blood disorders.
As a grassroots-led initiative, BHASNet centers the voices of those affected, working to ensure that no one faces the burden of blood-related illness alone.

BHASNet is governed by a four-member Board of Directors serving two-year terms, with an Annual General Meeting held each year to review progress and elect Directors.
