The Provincial Pediatric Hemophilia Program at BC Children's Hospital - provides
comprehensive care and support to children and their families with inherited bleeding disorders such as
Hemophilia A, B, von Willebrand's Disease, Rare Coagulation Factor Deficiencies and Inherited Platelet Disorders.
We are a core group of health care professionals consisting of Haematologists, Nurse
Practitioner, Physiotherapist, Social Worker, Program Secretary working together to deliver state-of-the-art
care to children with bleeding disorders. We enlist the help of other health care professionals such as
dentists, orthopaedic surgeons, medical geneticists, pediatric surgeons and laboratory physicians to complement
our care. We are key members of the Association of Hemophilia Clinic Directors of Canada (AHCDC), Canadian
Association of Nurses in Hemophilia Care (CANHC), and Canadian Association of Physiotherapists in Hemophilia
Care (CAPHC) to promote the latest innovations of clinical care, as well as the ability to offer our patients
the opportunity to enrol in clinical studies.
We serve the province of BC and Yukon, although some communities in the eastern
portion of the province utilize Calgary or Edmonton due to proximity and ease of access.
