Today is World Sickle Cell Day!
Sickle cell disease affects 100,000 Americans and disproportionately impacts the African American community. For many patients, blood transfusions are a critical, ongoing treatment that helps relieve pain and prevent complications. ❣️
That’s why a diverse blood donor base is so important. With diverse donations, we can provide better-matched blood and improve the lives of those living with sickle cell.
Donate blood. Help save lives. Help those living with sickle cell. 🩸
