There is a genuine passion for quality care that everyone at HOC has for each of us as patients, and for the patients’ families. The care we receive from the nurses and doctors for our bleeding disorders is outstanding and goes beyond by being there for us in several other ways - from helping us to navigate insurance questions, to providing ideas on diet and fitness, to building a sense of togetherness with Community Nights. I am very thankful to be a part of one of the best Hemophilia Treatment Centers in the country - the Hemophilia Outreach Center.
