The Sickle Cell Cares Foundation

The Sickle Cell Cares Foundation was established in January of 2013 by Kellyn George as an initiative to address the lack of awareness about the Sickle Cell Disease in Dominica. The Sickle Cell Cares Foundation provides information to individuals and families going through the struggles of dealing with this disease. With continuing research on Sickle Cell Disease being conducted, the organization will provide up to date information on the care and treatment of Sickle Cell Disease.

The Sickle Cell Cares Foundation plans to develop its support initiative by introducing financial support to patients, counseling and mental health support to patients and their families, and bridging the gap between patients and their healthcare providers by establishing a patient-doctor network.
