Treatment and Care

THBDFPeople with bleeding disorders are confronted with many physical, medical, emotional and psychological challenges. How well they meet these challenges depends on a number of things, including the severity of the illness, the quality of medical care, the ability to pay for treatment, and the support of family, friends and the community.

Offering Hope

Offering Hope
Our family did receive a miracle with the twins (both of which were diagnosed with Hemophilia), and we learned how precious their health and happiness really are. With the same love and care, we will continue to experience every day the miracle they bring. Thank you Tennessee Hemophilia Foundation. —Suzie Harlan
Parents Empowering Parents

My name is Michael and I have von Willebrand Disease. I have a son named Korbin who also has it. I recently attended a PEP class in Chattanooga Tennessee at the Chattanooga Choo Choo. I had a real eye opening experience, and the most valuable learning experience I could ever imagine. I would encourage anyone with children, not just a child with a bleeding disorder, to attended one of these PEP classes. We all can be better parents and this is the best start. — Michael

Bleeding Disorder Risks

Bleeding Disorders
  • Scarring of the joints or joint disease.
  • Vision loss from bleeding into the eye.
  • Chronic anemia from blood loss. Anemia is a low red blood cell count.
  • Neurologic or psychiatric problems.
  • Death, which may occur with large amounts of blood loss or bleeding in critical areas, such as the brain.

Hemophilia Treatment Centers

Treatment
There are approximately 140 hemophilia treatment centers in the United States that offer comprehensive medical care to people with coagulation disorders. Each of these federally-funded hospitals is staffed by at least a hematologist, nurse, social worker and physical therapist.

Travel Advisory

Safety
Increased travel security measures may cause some difficulty for people with bleeding disorders and their families.
