East Carolina University Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center is one of the largest centers in the United States. Through decades of participation in research and education opportunities, the center has contributed immensely to better understanding and advancing treatment of this condition.
East Carolina University Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center’s patients and their families are the center’s backbone; their strength, resilience, optimism, and grace teach important life lessons every day. Individuals living with sickle cell disease are more than their diagnosis. They have hopes, dreams and experience daily joys and challenges. They aspire to excel in school, sports, and in their careers. The goal of this center is to be part of these daily and lifelong journeys while promoting empowerment and self-advocacy until a definitive cure is discovered.
