Clinic Overview

The Center for Bleeding and Clotting Disorders at University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview is dedicated to providing excellent care for persons with bleeding and thrombotic (blood clotting) disorders. As part of the federally funded Hemophilia Treatment Center nationwide network, we are able to offer comprehensive care that meets individual patient needs.

Since 1977, we have assisted in improving the quality of life for people diagnosed with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders, and participated in cutting-edge research to further the advancement of diagnosis and treatment options. These include diagnostic evaluations and education for new patients as well as long-term follow-up for established patients.
