The Hemophilia Foundation of Oregon enhances the quality of life for individuals with bleeding disorders and their families through advocacy, assistance, outreach, education and research support.
Description
The Hemophilia Foundation of Oregon (HFO) was founded in Portland in 1963 by a small group of parents of children with hemophilia. Its goal has always been to improve the quality of life of those living with hemophilia and related bleeding disorders, and those who care for them. It serves individuals, their families and friends living in Oregon and the counties of southern Washington.
HFO is a volunteer health organization dedicated to the prevention, treatment and cure of bleeding disorders. Nationally, there are approximately 20,000 individuals with hemophilia; 400 families in the Foundation’s service area alone. Including family, friends and caregivers, thousands of people are touched by hemophilia.
