Praise for Patients

Sickle cell anemia, or sickle cell disease (SCD), is the most common inherited blood disorder. SCD affects African Americans at much higher rates than people of other ethnicities. To address this, "Your Health, Our Hope" will be writing notes of encouragement to sickle cell patients at Piedmont Health Services Agency. Throughout the event, information will be provided to participants addressing sickle cell disease to increase personal/community advocacy and awareness. All materials are provided (cards and markers).
