Since 1991, HANDI has grown to become a full-fledged resource center for coagulation disorders. Its primary objective has always been centered on service – answering consumer’s questions, providing quality educational publications, making referrals to additional sources of assistance and responding to the needs of the entire community. The Information Specialists in HANDI are dedicated to answering your questions, and always maintaining individual confidentiality.
Over the past 15 years, HANDI’s resource collection has grown to meet the changing needs of the community. HANDI processes thousands of requests for information from a wide variety of individuals and organizations including NHF chapters, medical professionals, consumers and their families, and teachers and students conducting research. The types of information requested reflect a diversity of needs – topics include home care, orthopedics, physical therapy, rare factor deficiencies, psychosocial issues, blood safety, women’s health, and financial and insurance reimbursement issues.
HANDI’s current resource library collection contains more than 12,000 items. Article reprints, textbooks, educational publications, CD-ROMs, and videos can be used to answer both simple and difficult requests. Many of the materials HANDI provides are produced in-house.
HANDI representatives travel to regional meetings and NHF’s On the Road conferences to showcase new publications and publicize the availability of its services to the community.
HANDI staff members are available Monday through Friday, 9am to 5:30pm EST, to answer your requests. Call us at 1-800-42HANDI or send us an email at handi@hemophilia.org. Requests can also be faxed to (212) 328-3799.
