The Hemophilia Center (HTC) at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics is committed to provide the best care for individuals with bleeding disorders. To accomplish this mission we offer "state of the art" comprehensive clinical care, education to patients and their families and accessibility to clinical research projects that are oriented to improve the lives of people with these type of disorders. We are also devoted to the formation of new professionals in the field and to increase awareness in the general population and the health care community. Finally, we encourage patients and their families to fully participate in their own care to maintain the highest quality life style. The Center provides services to more than 400 patients, both pediatric and adult, from Iowa and Western Illinois who have been diagnosed with a bleeding disorder.

Thomas Kisker, MD, established the Center in 1977 as one of the first comprehensive care centers for bleeding disorders in the country. The HTC staff consults on the diagnosis, evaluation, and the treatment of persons with bleeding disorders and provides clinical expertise and the staff serves as consultants to local health care professionals. The individual patient is the focus of the HTC staff. The patient's physical and psychosocial well-being are paramount to the HTC's provision of care.
