AzHTC Mission Statement 

The Arizona Hemostasis and Thrombosis Center, in partnership with patients with bleeding disorders, strives to provide individualized care focused on improving health and well-being through an inclusive practice that equitably serves a diverse population.

AzHTC General Description

Hemostasis and Thrombosis Centers throughout the country have become vital resources for patients. The Arizona Hemostasis and Thrombosis Center (AzHTC), at the University of Arizona in Tucson, is a comprehensive multidisciplinary diagnostic and treatment center for individuals and families with congenital bleeding and clotting disorders.

This Hemostasis Treatment Center (HTC) was established in 1978 as part of the national network of HTCs supported by federal funding. Over thirty-five years ago, the U.S. network of HTCs was established to provide comprehensive services for individuals and families with inherited bleeding disorders. Today there are over 130 HTCs throughout the U.S. improving health outcomes and reducing costs. The AzHTC is one of 11 centers within the Mountain States Hemophilia Network region.

The AzHTC is a life span Center that provides multidisciplinary patient and family-centered care.  Our team consists of staff that have received extensive and on-going training and education in the complications of bleeding disorders and the special needs of individuals and families affected by these disorders. Our team works to design an optimal chronic disease and lifestyle management plan that is patient oriented, culturally competent, and is updated regularly to accommodate the individual’s’ changing needs.  There is also a high-risk obstetrics team/clinic on site to provide service for hemophilia carriers and women with other bleeding and clotting disorders during pregnancy, labor, and delivery as well as an on-site coagulation laboratory to provide timely and accurate diagnostic testing.
