#SickleCellAwarenessMonth D23 We’ve had #NewbornScreening in the US for >30 yrs and it’s saved lives BUT many parents who have a baby w/SCD are still surprised We need systems to remind people of #SickleTrait status later in life to allow for informed reproductive decisions

#SickleCellAwareness Day 2 is a call to action The suffering and pain from SCD is real. Providing compassionate care is not difficult or expensive. Take time to listen. Believe the pain. Treat like family. I promise to do this everyday and hold others accountable. Will you?

July is one of our warmer Midwest months. And there’s no better way for donors to stay hydrated than with a Versiti water bottle. Donate July 5-11 to receive your bottle, complete with a sticker set to make it your own: https://t.co/TEqPlwC4G6 While supplies last.
