Today, children with hemophilia can live long health lives
Partnering throughout Indiana
As Indiana’s only federally designated Comprehensive Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC) and National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF)’s only Indiana Chapter, IHTC and Hemophilia of Indiana have forged a long history of important collaborations to promote care for and education of patients with bleeding disorders.
Hemophilia of Indiana, Inc. (HoII), is dedicated to empowering the bleeding disorder community through education and support, while advocating for access to quality care and product safety. HoII traces its beginnings to the mid-1950s when families with children with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders banded together for support and advocacy. HoII was formed as a chapter of the NHF in 1963 and was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1972.
IHTC provides financial support for several important HoII patient assistance programs including hardship support and a dental insurance program for its members.
Camp Brave Eagle was originally founded by IHTC as a summer camp program for bleeding disorder children and their siblings. Today, Camp Brave Eagle enjoys active support from both IHTC and HoII, enabling 120+ children to experience a week at camp each summer. IHTC staff provide onsite clinical support during the week, and HoII contributes assistance with logistics and on-site coordination.
Another collaborative effort between the two organizations includes Doug Thompson Team Leadership Camp. This camp is designed for teen boys to experience an adventure camp and learn how to advance their skills in independently managing their conditions. IHTC clinical staff partner with HoII staff to ensure a safe and meaningful experience.
