Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan

Medical services - provided administrative support and federal pass-through funding to treatment centers that delivered comprehensive care to those with Hemophilia and other bleeding and clotting disorders.

Hfm camping adventures was formed in order to provide a camp experience for children affected by Hemophilia, hereditary bleeding disorders, and related complications including hiv infection.

Client support services - assisted clients and their families in dealing with burden of living with Hemophilia, hiv/aids, and other bleeding disorders. Financial assistance program - the Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan's financial assistance program assists the Michigan bleeding disorders community during some of its most challenging times. The program guidelines require that the applicant be a Michigan resident, have a congenital bleeding disorder, and have an immediate financial challenge that includes but it is not limited to situations such as eviction or utility shutoff. The program is facilitated in partnership with the Hemophilia treatment center social workers. The funding for the financial assistance program is determined at budget time and that amount is given to the social worker on our staff who monitors the financial assistance program. She tracks the spending on an ongoing basis and periodically reconciles her amounts with the project that is recorded in our accounting system as actual costs are incurred. Delta dental program - like the financial assistance program, the program guidelines require that the applicant be a Michigan resident and have a congenital bleeding disorder. Once approved the individual must use this service at least once annually in order to qualify for the program the next year. The funding for the delta dental program is determined at budget time. This program is funded by cascade; it is 100k for dental cost and 20 to administer the program for hfm. We track the program with a project in our accounting system so we can track the cost on an ongoing basis as they are incurred. Tuition scholarship program - applicants must be individuals within the bleeding disorders community who reside in the state of Michigan seeking a post-secondary education, which can include a community college, university, graduate level or trade school. This includes those with bleeding disorders (clotting disorders are not eligible for this scholarship) and immediate family members (parent, sibling, and grandchild) of those with a bleeding disorder. Applicants submit their application to the scholarship committee, who then review all the applicants and choose one based on previously agreed on criteria. The amount of the scholarship is predetermined at budget development.
