Programs of Care for Blood Disorders
General Hematology
Physicians and nurses in the hematology section evaluate more than 600 new patients each year with non-malignant blood disorders. These include common conditions such as iron-deficiency anemia, benign neutropenia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) but also numerous cases of more rare blood diseases that require the experience and expertise for diagnosis and management that can only be found at specialized institutions like ours.
Comprehensive Hemophilia & Thrombophilia Program
The Comprehensive Hemophilia and Thrombophilia Program is a federally designated hemophilia treatment center that cares for the largest group of children with hemophilia and related bleeding disorders in the region. Learn about our program>
Comprehensive Hemoglobin Disorders Program
The Hemoglobin Disorders Program works to improve the health and well-being of patients affected by hemoglobin-based diseases within a kid-friendly, family-focused environment. We are also dedicated to pursuing research that enhances treatment options and strives for cures to these diseases. Our staff primarily treats patients with sickle cell disease and thalassemia (children and adults); we also provide diagnosis and treatment for a variety of other hemoglobin disorders.
