Sickle Cell Empowerment Circle

August 28, 2024 7:00 PM Virtual

Join the monthly empowerment circle for community members impacted by sickle cell disease

Support & Empowerment groups provide a safe space to:
  1. Meet others in the sickle cell community
  2. Discuss the challenges related to living with sickle cell disease
  3. Share your encouraging victories and life lessons with others
  4. Gain valuable insight and resources that can help improve your quality of life
The Sickle Cell Support and Empowerment Group is part of our Sickle Cell Patient Support Program. The adolescent and adult group meets on the last Thursday of each month and is open to ALL members of the sickle cell community ages 16+, regardless of state.
