"The Hemophilia Outreach Center has been a life saver for my family! We first established care with them when my oldest son was born in 2016. He was diagnosed with Severe Hemophilia A and we were referred to HOC. This was a scary time for my family with all of the unknowns. The staff was super friendly and easy going! They provided education to my family as we were learning to cope with the bleeding disorder. The center provides a very comfortable environment and outstanding collaborative patient care. Both of my sons and I are now established patients at HOC. HOC also has many fun programs and event for families with bleeding disorders (my favorite being Mom-to-Mom group). We know we are never alone in this journey because HOC is always one phone call away! HOC and it’s staff ROCK! 🩸"

"The Hemophilia Outreach Center is my favorite medical center by far. They have been taking care of me since I was a child and they have always done so with kindness, compassion, extreme competency, knowledge, respect and responsiveness. I always know that if they are on board with a medical situation, the situation itself will be cared for at an elevated level of care due to their diligence. I have utilized their care even when I lived out of state because I could not find a place that even comes close to matching their level of kindness and care and kindness is magic. I appreciate them immensely."

"Genuine passion for quality care"

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.

"Always there for me in my adventures"

From luxurious Green Bay to the mountains of France, the HOC team has always been there for me in my adventures. As someone with VWD III, my life quite literally depends on a secure source of support, and the Center has never lacked in supplying that support for my family and me. Having been with the Center for 15 years, I can fearlessly claim that I’ve not met a team as dependable, ready, knowledgeable, supportive, benevolent, and genuinely caring as the folks at the HOC.
