A multi-disciplinary team of physicians, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, psychologists, social workers, and physical therapists provides the best care for children with blood disorders. Patients with hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, and other bleeding and clotting disorders are followed through the Comprehensive Hemophilia and Thrombosis Diagnosis Treatment Center. The Sickle Cell Disease Program follows more than 1,200 children, making it one of the largest pediatric sickle cell programs in the country. Through blood transfusions and new drug treatments, Children’s specialists ease the disease’s effects and have even cured the disease through hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Children’s Division of Hematology is dedicated to finding new and more effective therapies by participating in several clinical trials sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. As part of the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, hematology patients have access to the Patient and Family Support Program, which provides comprehensive mental health and psychosocial services and helpful resources for all patients treated by the center, as well as patients’ parents and siblings.
