Our dedicated team of professionals knows hemophilia first-hand and works tirelessly to
customize services to meet the specific needs of each family to whom we provide
clotting
medications and other support services. Since every family is different, with varying
needs, the details of home service will differ. We design a total care
program according the wishes of each family and
prescribing physician.
If you are already a client, we thank you. Please do not hesitate to contact our client
services professionals by phone at 800-243-4621 or by E-mail to

If you are not yet part of our family,

family can take advantage of our special
bleeding disorders programs by calling 800-243-4621 or by E-mail.
******************************************
Families in the United States, who are living with bleeding disorders, often receive
their care at special medical centers. These Centers are called Hemophilia Treatment
Centers (HTC). The medical staff of an HTC has special training and experience in treating
hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, and related bleeding disorders. HTCs provide
comprehensive care to individuals and families with bleeding disorders using a team of
medical care providers. Comprehensive care is care that looks at and treats the person as
a whole person.
The comprehensive care team may include a hematologist (blood doctor), an
orthopedist (a bone doctor), a geneticist (a doctor who knows about how bleeding disorders
are passed from parents to children), a physical therapist, a social worker, a health
educator, nurses, and may offer referrals to other specialists like dentists, hepatologists (liver
doctors), ObGyns, and others.
HTCs are located across the United States. If you have plans to travel or to move to
another part of the country, it might be helpful to know where HTCs are located.
AHF is providing the below link
to the national directory of HTCs in the United States as a service to
the bleeding disorders community. This is part of our commitment to bring families the
very best possible information and services. This directory of HTCs is
compiled and maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
To find the HTC nearest your home, or one that is near
your travel or vacation destination, just "click"
the link below and you will be taken to the CDC's Hemophilia Treatment
Center Directory.

AHF®, Inc. does not prescribe medications or give
medical recommendations to individuals. AHF does not endorse or refer any
particular individual to a specific HTC or medical provider. It is best to obtain medical
recommendations from your physician and/or your HTC.
