Hematology at Children's National: Why Choose Us?

Children have complex blood clotting systems that change as they grow. At Children’s National, our understanding of pediatric blood disorders and the many ways in which they affect your child’s well-being helps us deliver the best care.

Highlights of our program include:

• Comprehensive care: If your child has sickle cell disease, we coordinate and deliver specialized care to meet all of his or her health needs. This may include anything from specialized pain management to dental care. Learn more about our Comprehensive Sickle Cell Disease Program.
