Benefits of care in a designated Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC)

Physical therapy session The Boston Hemophilia Center is the largest federally funded hemophilia treatment center in New England. People with hemophilia who receive medical care through a designated HTC have significantly reduced risk of bleeding complications, better school and work attendance and improved emotional health and well-being.

The HTC model of patient care is designed to provide comprehensive care to patients of all ages and their families. By emphasizing early diagnosis and intervention to prevent disease complications, HTCs create a positive impact on the health, life-style and long-term well-being of people with bleeding disorders.
