Advanced hematology care delivered by trusted experts

We know that managing a blood disorder can be challenging. Penn Medicine provides expert, compassionate care, whether you’re seeking a diagnosis or have been living with your condition for some time. Our treatments feature the latest in innovation, like gene therapy, and we conduct leading research to improve care, including clinical trials.

When you come to our center, a nurse coordinator helps connect you with our providers, which may include hematologists, nurses, physical therapists, social workers, and psychologists. We also partner with a range of other specialists across our health care center, if needed. Our doctors have in-depth knowledge and provide specialized care for clotting disorders, sickle cell disease, and other conditions. We’re also members of the American Society of Hematology and educate professionals worldwide. This means you have access to high-quality blood disorder care at locations close to home. And if you’re traveling from outside of our area, we’ll work with your local providers so that your care is coordinated at every step.

Safe, transfusion-free alternatives for hematologic conditions

Penn Medicine is one of the few centers to offer transfusion-free medicine for certain blood disorders. Our doctors pioneered this care, providing effective alternative therapies to those who decline a blood transfusion for religious or personal reasons.
