Hemophilia and Bleeding Disorders Program: What Sets Our Care Apart

Nationally Recognized Care

Cincinnati Children’s is ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Families trust our team for expert care and reliable results.

Cincinnati Children’s is one of about 140 Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs) in the United States. We earned this designation because our team provides a comprehensive care model for patients with this condition. Research shows that people with hemophilia who receive care at an HTC experience better health outcomes, including fewer hospitalizations.

Advanced Testing and Treatments

Our specialized hemostasis lab provides detailed blood clotting tests on site. This helps us diagnose bleeding disorders faster and more accurately.

We also offer genetic testing and access to new treatments through ongoing research studies. These options can help guide care and improve outcomes.

Team approach for whole-child care

Your child’s care team may include doctors, nurses, social workers, dietitians, physical therapists, and genetic counselors. This team-based care supports every part of your child’s health.

We also partner with other specialists, like surgeons or gynecologists, when needed. This ensures your child gets one clear, coordinated care plan.

Support that lasts for years

Bleeding disorders often require lifelong care. That’s why each family works with a dedicated nurse coordinator who helps schedule visits, answer questions and guide care over time.

We also provide education on home treatments like infusions, plus support at school and in daily life. Families can even take part in programs like our summer camp designed for children with hemophilia.

Convenient access to care

We see patients throughout the week and can offer urgent visits when needed. Many families come to us for expert evaluation, even if they live outside the immediate area.

Our goal is to make care easy to access while providing the highest level of expertise.
