Having a child is an exciting experience that often requires a network of support. When your child has hemophilia, that network should include your local Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC). HTCs provide comprehensive care from a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals who help provide care for every aspect of your child's health, including physical, emotional, psychological, educational, financial and vocational aspects.

When your child has hemophilia, you and your family will spend a lot of time and energy navigating the health care system. Your HTC team can provide support and advice that may help make this journey easier. Parents and children who utilize their hemophilia treatment centers often find not only state-of-the art medical care, but also benefit from an experienced, caring staff that helps patients and their families with medical care issues and lends tremendous emotional support. Building a relationship with your HTC staff will benefit you and your child for many years.

Members of the HTC treatment team may include:

You are also an important member of the treatment team, and the HTC staff relies on your input to help develop a healthcare plan that will help ensure your child remains healthy and active.

With approximately 141 federally-funded HTCs across the country, it is important to find the treatment center nearest to you.
