Bleeding disorders patients are seen for annual multidisciplinary evaluations and additional clinical visits for acute bleeding episodes, chronic hemarthropathy, related orthopedic and functional concerns, and pain complaints.

• Orthopedic Leadership - Lead and coordinate the orthopedic physical therapy service area, developing protocols, ensuring quality standards, and mentoring other physical therapists.
• Multidisciplinary Collaboration - Partner with hematologists, surgeons, nurses, social workers, pharmacists, and regional HTC teams to deliver cohesive, patient-centered care.
• Patient & Family Education - Provide guidance on musculoskeletal health, self-care, physical activity, bleed prevention, and rehabilitation strategies tailored to patients and families.
• Community Engagement & Outreach - Deliver services at regional outreach clinics, summer camps, and educational events while supporting community PTs with specialized consultation.
• Research & Quality Improvement - Contribute to clinical research, quality improvement projects, and the development of clinical care pathways while maintaining compliance with HIPAA, IRB, and institutional standards.
