Our History

 The New York City Hemophilia Chapter (NYCHC) was started with the premise that if people have a chance to get together, share experiences, and learn from one another, their health and quality of life vastly improves and the feeling of isolation and fear is diminished. Since inception, NYCHC has aimed to grow organically, to respond to the needs of the community, and to work closely with Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs). NYCHC was incorporated in and obtained its 501 (c)(3) status in 2008, became a Chapter of the National Hemophilia Foundation(NHF) in 2009, and an Hemophilia Federation of America (HFA) member organization in 2010.
