The Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the NHF provides MedicAlert Memberships and IDs for patients with hemophilia, vWD and other clotting factor deficiencies. To qualify, you must either live in Pennsylvania (EPC's coverage area) or if you live outside the state, then you must be treated at one of the following six Hemophilia Treatment Centers:
