About Hemophilia of South Carolina
Hemophilia of South Carolina (HSC) is a 501 (C) 3 Non-Profit organization and is a Chapter of the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) and a Chapter Member of Hemophilia Federation of America (HFA). HSC was founded in 1973 by a group of parents interested in promoting awareness, providing group support, and assisting other national hemophilia organizations. The organization for 42 years existed as all-volunteer; providing programs and education, support, and advocacy for access to care at the state’s capitol. Today, HSC serves all 46 counties in the state, currently providing education and support services to over 900 individual members and their families in 38 counties. HSC provides the most current information and education in topics related to bleeding disorders, treatment therapies, insurance, and advocacy. Today, HSC has one full time executive director, a full time development and communications coordinator, and an advocacy consultant, but relies on a strong volunteer base of it’s board of directors and members. Without our volunteers, we could not serve our mission.
