Sickle cell disease primarily affects those of African descent, but also is found in people who trace their ancestry to South and Central America, the Middle East, India, Italy, Greece, and Turkey.
There is no universal cure for sickle cell disease, but new treatments and preventive therapies have improved the life expectancy and quality of life for people with the disorder.
Our program offers support to those living with Sickle cell. We also provide education activities designed to foster awareness of the disease.
