Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center
DHMC is a federally funded center that provides comprehensive care to pediatric patients with bleeding or clotting disorders. We have pediatric hematologists, nurses, physical therapists, and orthopedists who are specifically trained in managing the needs of a patient with bleeding disorders. The blood bank is also specifically prepared to manage a patient with a bleeding disorder. If a patient needs surgery, we coordinate care with the surgeons, hematologists and the blood bank.
