Our goal is to establish an outreach clinic in an area that will serve the Amish bleeding disorder community. After the completion of our formal project, we plan to continue to offer our services to the community to provide ongoing education, screening, and testing for individuals with bleeding symptoms or with a family history of a bleeding disorder. Furthermore, we plan to extend our clinical support to the other Amish communities located in downstate Illinois.
