“Finding out our son was a severe Hemophiliac was one of the more challenging times in our lives. I remember watching him get his first dose of factor and thinking to myself, ‘This is going to be the hardest journey we have ever been on.’”
– Caitlin Hardy, mom of 4-year-old patient, Liam (pictured)
“Since I began working at the Nemours HTC three years ago, I have seen the benefits of comprehensive care for patients and their families.”

“My goal is for Ethan to live a normal life and be able to participate in life like other children, which he is able to do because of available treatment…”
– Candy Frisbee, Grandmother of 11-year-old patient, Ethan
“When I was smaller, I didn’t know how to do anything to care for myself, but now I am learning how to do those things, like giving myself infusions. My nurse has helped me feel less nervous. It would be harder to get the correct treatment without the HTC, and I wouldn’t be able to participate in the same activities.”
