Welcome to the Sickle Cell Lifetime Program. At the heart of our work is the belief that every child, teen, and adult living with sickle cell disease deserves consistent, compassionate care - through every age and stage of life.
Our Sickle Cell Lifetime Program is a bridge:
- From newborn diagnosis to thriving adulthood.
- From uncertainty to empowerment.
- From pediatric care to adult independence - with guidance every step of the way.
Both the Pediatric and the Adult Program are members of the National Alliance of Sickle Cell Centers (NASCC).
The Lifespan Program
Patients have access to a dedicated team that includes licensed clinical social workers, mental health professionals, community health workers, and care coordinators - each playing a vital role in addressing the complex medical, emotional, and social needs of this population. We work closely with patients and families to navigate referrals and coordinate care with specialty providers, ensuring comprehensive care and support along the way. Convenient on-site diagnostic imaging and laboratory services within our hospital system enables timely and efficient evaluations, work-ups, and routine screenings.
