National Sickle Cell Month

Once considered a "childhood disease," sickle cell patients now live into their forties and fifties and continue to experience unpredictable bouts of pain that last a few hours to many weeks—threatening their family-life, career, education and social-life. 

As part of our commitment to providing care for one of the largest sickle cell populations in the country, we are partnering with University of Tennessee Health Science Center to build the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center of Memphis. This center will provide both outpatient and inpatient treatment for sickle cell patients in Memphis, Tennessee.
