🎉 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 🎉

A NEW PARTNERSHIP. A NEW PATH TO ACCESS. A BIGGER IMPACT. 💙❤️

The Armstead-Barnhill Foundation for Sickle Cell Anemia is proud and excited to announce our partnership with Pfizer to launch a Transportation Initiative for Sickle Cell Clinics! 🚌❤️

For individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease, getting to medical appointments can sometimes be a barrier to receiving the care they need. Together, we are working to change that.

Through this initiative, eligible Sickle Cell patients at select participating clinics will have access to NO-COST transportation assistance to and from their medical appointments.

Because access to care should never depend on how you get there. ❤️

This partnership will help:
✨ Remove transportation barriers
✨ Improve access to Sickle Cell care
✨ Support consistent attendance at medical appointments
✨ Help patients stay connected to their healthcare providers
✨ Promote better health outcomes and peace of mind

This is more than transportation. It’s access. It’s opportunity. It’s support. It’s hope.

We are incredibly grateful to Pfizer for partnering with the Armstead-Barnhill Foundation as we continue our mission to improve the health and well-being of individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease.

Together, we can remove barriers. Together, we can improve access. Together, we can change lives. ❤️
