A Regional Center Located at CDRC in Portland, the Oregon Regional Hemophilia Center is one of 12 regional centers nationwide. The center serves persons with hemophilia in Oregon and southwest Washington. The center administers sub-contracts with the Puget Sound Blood Center in Seattle, which serves patients in northern Idaho and most of Washington, the Idaho Regional Hemophilia Treatment Program at St. Luke's Regional Medical Center in Boise, and the Alaska Hemophilia Program in Anchorage. The center's location in CDRC at OHSU affords access to the most recent advances in clinical care, patient education and health care research.

The Hemophilia Center uses a comprehensive model for delivery of effective care coordinated in the community. The center sustains close working relationships with the Title V program. Team members visit the homes of newly diagnosed patients, and subsequently make occasional home visits, if needed. Emphasis is on the education of providers, educators, employers, patients and their families for successful management. The center itself thrives amid the diverse health care resources of OHSU, and is as accessible as patients' needs require.
