Sickle Cell Awareness

facts about Sickle Cell Disease

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is the most common hereditary disorder and currently affects over 70,000 Americans, predominantly people of African, Middle Eastern, Grecian, Indian, and Latin American descent.
Sickle Cell disease causes the body to create abnormal hemoglobin and abnormally ‘sickle’ shaped red blood cells that causes pain and numerous health complication.
Because of abnormal hemoglobin, red blood cells to stick together and create a ‘sickle’ shape, which causes pain and health complications.
Although there is no cure for Sickle Cell Disease, blood transfusions (supplied exclusively by volunteer blood donors like us!) are a critical part of treatment.
Many times, only blood transfusions can relieve the pain and complications that occur during a sickle cell episode.
