The Center for Bleeding and Clotting Disorders

We are experts at treating bleeding and clotting disorders.

The Center for Bleeding and Clotting Disorders (CBCD) at Children’s Minnesota provides expert care for babies, kids and teens with bleeding and thrombotic (clotting) disorders. It’s the only center in the region focused just on children and is part of a national network of Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs).

At CBCD, your child will be cared for by a team of pediatric hematology experts who work together to provide complete, all-around care. This holistic team approach helps kids stay healthier — missing fewer days of school and needing fewer emergency room visits — so they can focus on just being kids. The center also partners with local and national groups to support families through every step of their blood disorder journey.
