Oklahoma's Source for Comprehensive Bleeding and Clotting Care The Oklahoma Center for Bleeding & Clotting Disorders (OCBCD) provides the state's only comprehensive center for hemophilia and thrombophilia care. Located within The Jimmy Everest Center for Cancer and Blood disorders in Children, it is part of a nationwide network of specialized centers supported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). In 1973, The National Hemophilia Foundation recognized the superiority of care available through comprehensive hemophilia centers. It initiated a campaign to develop centralized treatment facilities that offer a range of comprehensive service for hemophilia patients and families. Our facility is one of some 141 such nationally-recognized centers now in existence. The OCBCD's purpose is to treat the whole person and the family through ongoing, consistent supervision of all medical and psychosocial aspects of bleeding disorders. All aspects of life are addressed, such as             Physical             Emotional             Psychological             Educational             Financial             Vocational                  The Center provided care to individuals of all ages with bleeding and clotting disorders.  The primary clinic is in Oklahoma City with an outreach clinic in Tulsa. The Factor @ Home program. Affiliated with OCBCD, allows people with hemophilia to use clotting-factor replacement therapy at home to manage bleeding problems. In addition to the convenience home treatment offers, it helps patients avoid serious complication from hemophilia. Prompt treatment means that pain dysfunction and long-term disability are decreased. Significant cost saving are also passed along to patients.
