We strive to enable people with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders and their families to manage the illness as independently as possible, so they may lead active, healthy lives.
Services available through the Boston Hemophilia Center (BHC) include:
|
|
- Comprehensive medical evaluation and treatment
Our expert team of medical specialists has developed an extensive evaluation exam that will ensure the necessary treatment.
- Ongoing hemophilia management
We have a dedicated team of ongoing care specialists who will serve as a helpful resource in between clinic visits, providing answers to any of your questions.
- Home infusion program
Our staff works closely with expert infusion nurses who provide, among other benefits, the convenience of treatment at home that is less disruptive to daily life and significantly reduces trips to the hospital.
- Factor Program
The basic treatment to stop or prevent bleeding in people with hemophilia is factor replacement therapy. Factor products and related supplies are very expensive. As a federally designated hemophilia treatment center, we can supply these products to our patients at a discount.
- Genetic counseling and testing
The Boston Hemophilia Center at Children's Hospital offers the services of a physician who is both a hematologist and a geneticist to advise families on the genetic implications of having a bleeding disorder.
