From the Founder
In 1994 eight local African-American physicians met with the PA Secretary of Health at my home where we committed ourselves to developing a program to address the needs of the sickle cell patients (SCD) in our region. We were motivated by the recent death of a sixteen year old girl who had had surgery for an acute gall bladder attack. She survived the surgery but succumbed in the immediate post-operative period. As we reviewed the situation we recognized that there were a host of problems that SCD patients faced. We decided that the limited knowledge, resources and skills for managing SCD patients would no longer be tolerated.
Your continued support is critical to our ability to continue and expand our client base and service diversity.
Thank you.
