Boston Hemophilia Center

Children's Hospital Boston is known for our science-driven approach. In fact, we’re home to the world's most extensive pediatric hospital research enterprise; and we partner with elite health care and biotech organizations around the globe. But as specialists in innovative, family-centered care, our physicians never forget that your child is precious, and not just a patient.

Our Center has adopted a family-centered model of care. From your first visit, you’ll work with a team of professionals who are committed to supporting all of your family’s physical and psychosocial needs. Our services include, but are not limited to, the following:

• comprehensive medical evaluation and treatment
• ongoing medical management
• counseling and support
• access to new treatment approaches through clinical research

We care for infants, children, adolescents and young adults. Adult patients are treated at Brigham and Women's. In general, we transition our patients to specialists at Brigham and Women's by the time they’re 22.

Ellis Neufeld, MD, PhD, director of our program, serves on the board of the new national hemophilia database consortium, the American Thrombosis and Hemostasis Network (ATHN).
