🚨Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month🚨

“Without a fundamental change in how we view and treat sickle cell disease, we perpetuate a cycle of neglect and inequity that disproportionately harms marginalized communities.”

📃 Nature Review Disease Primers, 2018

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is more than a medical condition—it is a stark reminder of the health inequities that persist in our society. The disproportionate devestation in communities of color, leads to inadequate care and poor health outcomes.

If you are a healthcare professional, advocate, or ally, keep pushing for systemic change that ensures that every patient receives the care and respect they deserve.

It feels empty to “only” raise awareness; but in doing so, maybe there is a path to action. Maybe we move onward to a place where we can challenge the biases associated with SCD, and advocate for a future where health equity exists for those who have suffered for so long with this catastrophic illness.
