Studies have shown that people with hemophilia who receive comprehensive treatment through a hemophilia treatment center (HTC) are 40 percent less likely to die from this bleeding disorder.

If you have hemophilia (Factor VIII or IX deficiency) or a related bleeding condition such as Factor XI deficiency, von Willebrand disease (VWD), other factor deficiencies or a defect in platelet function, you may benefit from the comprehensive, multidisciplinary, family-centered approach to hemophilia care at the Hemophilia Treatment Center at Lehigh Valley Hospital (LVH).
