What is the Hemophilia Outreach Center?
The Hemophilia Outreach Center, located in Green Bay, WI currently serves patients from North Eastern Wisconsin to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Center was founded by two pediatric nurses, Peggy Maier and Audrey Nuskiewicz, in 1974 after being recruited to establish a āclinicā for persons with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders.
After decades of commitment and care from these two nurses, they decided to make their dream a reality by creating a center that is governed by the patients and families it serves. The Hemophilia Outreach Center is one of the few free-standing Hemophilia Treatment Centers in the nation and has grown from the original six patients to currently serving over 350 patients.
Since the beginning, it has been our mission to provide expert, specialized medical care and advocacy for persons with a bleeding disorder. We create and implement programs that educate, empower, and enrich the bleeding disorder community. Our services are designed to enhance our holistic vision of each person.
The Hemophilia Outreach Centerās services include: diagnosis and treatment from a comprehensive care team including physicians, nurses, physical therapist, social worker, reimbursement specialist, and other healthcare professionals; coordination of medical care with other healthcare providers and hospitals; 24-hour on-call coverage 7 days a week provided by medical personnel; education and outreach about bleeding disorders to patients, their families, schools, hospitals, and the community; delivery of hemophilia clotting factor at reduced prices through our Public Health Service 340B Clotting Factor Program.
