September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month, designated by Congress to help focus attention on the need for research and treatment of sickle cell disease. Read the 2020 President’s Proclamation here.

June 19th has been set aside globally as a day to promote greater awareness of an illness that affects nearly 200,000 Americans and millions worldwide. This year World Sickle Cell day falls on a Saturday. People here in the U.S. and all around the world will take time on and around this day to recognize the first disease to have its molecular basis described, and yet 120 years later, remains an orphan disease with remarkably few treatment options and no widely obtainable cure.

May is Women's Health Month

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) can impact puberty, periods, sexual and reproductive health. Individuals who were born female with sickle cell disease may experience delayed onset of puberty, a greater number of pain crisis than males due to normal changes in hormones and some may have difficulty getting pregnant and/or high-risk pregnancies. Unfortunately, research has identified deep disparities in access to reproductive and sexual health care in this area.
