November 7, 2007 - Jan Martin R.N. and Steve Hopewell R.N., two of our very own nurses from University Hospital’s Hemophilia Treatment Center, presented recently at the Corporate College – a division of Cuyahoga Community College. Their presentations were part of an annual conference titled “Current Challenges in Newborn and Maternal Health”, sponsored by Mead Johnson Nutritionals. The topic of discussion was Hemophilia and Thrombophilia during pregnancy and in the neonate.
The conference was attended by a large group of nurses, practitioners, and midwives from northeast Ohio area hospitals. Jan and Steve’s presentation outlined potential diagnoses of clotting and bleeding disorders. They also discussed management and resources for these disorders in pregnancy and the pre-natal period.
The Hemophilia Treatment Center at University Hospitals – Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital provides care for over 300 patients who have coagulation abnormalities.
