HEMOPHILIA TREATMENT CENTERS
Since 1975, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has funded a national network of 135 Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs) to provide integrated services to and increased access to care for children and adults with rare, inherited bleeding disorders. These HTCs currently provide services to over 30,000 individuals affected by hemophilia, von Willebrand disease (VWD), and other rare coagulation disorders.
Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs) provide comprehensive services to this patient population to improve collaboration of care plan between the providers, the patient, and the patient’s family. HTCs are composed of a multidisciplinary core team including a pediatric or adult hematologist, a nurse coordinator, a social worker, and a physical therapist. Services of other providers including orthopedists, dentists, genetic counselors, dieticians, and other specialists are either provided at or coordinated through the HTC.
Studies have shown that the multi-disciplinary, comprehensive and specialized care for bleeding disorder patients that HTCs provide lowers mortality and hospitalization rates, controls emergent and urgent care costs, and increases quality of life for patients.
