Hemophilia

Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that makes it difficult for the blood to clot. Our federally recognized hemophilia treatment center offers comprehensive care to patients of all ages, and has done so for more than 35 years. In partnership with the Stanford Hematology Program, we provide unsurpassed continuity of care for hemophilia from birth through adulthood.

We pride ourselves in having experts who specialize in both child and adult hemophilia, ensuring your child will receive care from dedicated, familiar providers throughout their lifetime. Our wide array of services promote wraparound care, empowering your child to live their best life.
