Comprehensive support for every stage of the sickle cell journey

Enabling individuals with sickle cell anemia to live their lives to the fullest extent not compromised by their disease and its side effects is the most important goal of our organization. We increase knowledge about sickle cell disease to the people in the 12 parishes we serve. We seek to support, empower, and provide high quality resources to our community in a safe and secure environment.
