The Western Pennsylvania Bleeding Disorders Foundation was founded in the 1950’s and was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 1976. WPBDF is the only organization in Western PA dedicated exclusively to serving the bleeding disorders community.

Here are just some of the things we provide:
- Hemogram newsletter

- Assistance with transportation to medical appointments
- The New Parent Network program for newly diagnosed families
- Emergency financial assistance
- Family Education Weekend & other educational programs

Many employers sponsor the United Way and many of our chapter’s members and friends make contributions to the United Way through their employers. Funds directed to the chapter through the United Way Contributor’s Choice are a significant source of income for our chapter. If you support the United Way campaign, you can also support our chapter by directing all or part of your contribution to the Western PA Bleeding Disorders Foundation (United Way/Agency Code Number 83).
