All HTCs will be encouraged to participate in ATHN as ATHN Affiliates. Toward that end, ATHN will create a formal coalition with the 30 year old network of 140 HTCs across the U.S. that are funded on a federal level by HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These centers provide comprehensive, multi-disciplinary care to the individuals and families in the U.S. with bleeding and thrombotic disorders. The goal of this approach is to conserve resources through use of a common information infrastructure and to foster collaboration within the thrombosis and hemostasis community.
