Beginning in 1956, the Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan strives to improve the quality of life for all people affected by hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, other coagulation disorders, and related complications, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. HFM provides a variety of programs and services to support the Michigan bleeding disorders community, including summer camping program. In 1969, HFM began the first summer camp in the nation for children with bleeding disorders. Today, HFM provides over 6 weeks of camping programs for children and adults affected by bleeding disorders. HFM also serves as the Regional Core Center for all federally funded hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs) in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. HFM secures and administers federal funding from Health Resources and Service Administration and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (through American Thrombosis & Hemostasis Network) to support both comprehensive care and prevention programs at HTCs.
