Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder that causes intense pain, serious health complications, and, left untreated, a shorter life span. Sickle Cell Warriors live with daily pain punctuated by pain crises — when misshapen (or sickled) red blood cells stop the healthy flow of blood through their body. A pain crisis requires immediate medical attention. Long and frequent hospital visits make it difficult for Sickle Cell Warriors to progress through school, work, and life’s important moments.
Because the disease is not widely understood or recognized in the medical field, the pain of Sickle Cell Warriors is often disregarded. Though the genetic cause of this disease was discovered in 1910, research on treatments and potential cures have been underfunded.
We envision a future where sickle cell disease is a livable, non-threatening condition.
We fight the battle against sickle cell disease on multiple fronts using a human-centric, community-based, and rigorously scientific approach. Below are the key ways we strive toward a pain-free future.
I am very grateful the doctor took my symptoms seriously.and had my best interest at heart. The virtual appointment was amazing. It helped me get feedback immediately a few days after the problem started. I saved so much time. I am excited about using the service more frequently. Thank you.

I am Thankful that the Foundation for Sickle Cell Disease Research has been a place where Patients can be rescued from Sickle Cell Anemia. Last week I needed fluids after 8:00 pm. I was very GREATFUL to be seen the following day as a Walk in. Thank you to all the Doctors, Nurses and Staff!!! May the Vision of LOVE continue!!!
I feel blessed and humbled to know that there are a group of professionals who have served and protect Sickle Warriors with respect and compassion. May God bless the people and the supporters of the Foundation for Sickle Cell Disease Research.
This place is great for daily treatments, everyone here is nice but it is slow paced and does take time before infusion, quicker than the ER for sure but a very clean, quiet, friendly environment.
Ms.Rita and also the nurses work hard to get you accessed and medicated in a timely manner. Ms.Janel is very welcoming and you can see and feel her concern for patients care.
The staff is exceptionally hospitable and very pleasant. The facility is very warming and comfortable. My experience is always unforgettable. Thank you for the excellent service your company provides????????
I called this foundation yesterday desperately looking for support for a family member. They listened and provided prompt and caring responses. Much appreciated.
Everyone was nice from the time I walked in until I walked out. They really was educational and explained the hold process of their Facility and the services that they offer. I would recommend The Foundation For Sickle Cell Disease Research to anyone who is suffering with this horrible disease.
