#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

It takes a village
The hematologist alone is insufficient to provide comprehensive care
Psychology,social work, spiritual care,nursing,coordinators,
pain management,transfusion specialists
ESSENTIAL and equally important parts of an SCD team

Are you aware that when a patient experiences a Sickle Cell Crisis, that they are often in extreme pain?

#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?

Let's send love to Arlie and her family as they navigate the road to recovery from #leukemia. 💙 Although she's currently in remission, you can join the #bonemarrow donor registry to give patients like her better odds of finding a match when they need it: bit.ly/43UJ3vP

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: bitly.versiti.org/3NY4d6C While supplies last.
