We are 1 of 6 designated sickle cell programs in Ohio. We provide and coordinate services designed to reduce difficulties associated with sickle cell disease and related disorders in children, teens and young adults.
Newborn screenings are used to identify more than 400 children with sickle cell trait and other hemoglobinopathies in northeast Ohio each year. We provide evaluations for local patients as well as for patients referred from other communities in Ohio Region VI.
In addition to medical care, we also provide support services including disease education, personal and career counseling, and financial counseling.
Other services include genetic counseling for hemoglobin disorders, community education programs, public awareness campaigns, and patient and family advocacy. Our program also includes an active on-site erythrocytapheresis program.
