Sickle cell disease affects many families. In fact, approximately one in every 365 African American children and one in every 16,300 Hispanic-American children will be diagnosed with sickle cell disease, making it the most commonly diagnosed disease in newborn screenings.

They offer an array of services designed to meet all of your child’s health needs, with special focus on his or her safety and comfort.
