Comprehensive Treatment
Center
Persons with inherited bleeding disorders
have been treated at Virginia Commonwealth
University Health System for many years.
The concept of a team of specialists to
address the complex needs of persons with
bleeding disorders began in the 1970s
with Virginia Department of Health funding
for comprehensive care. In the 1980s,
federal funding created a larger clinic
and team to serve persons with bleeding
disorders.
Today, what was once the hemophilia treatment
center has expanded to include care for
patients with both clotting and bleeding
disorders. Both a pediatric and adult
comprehensive care team under the direction
of Dr. Gita Massey and Dr. J. Christian Barrett serve persons with coagulation
disorders.
The Central Virginia Center for Coagulation
Disorders provides various services to
its patients, from hematology therapy
to physical therapy to educational services.
The CVCCD comprehensive care team consists
of professionals from several disciplines.
