The Sickle Cell Program offers the latest treatments including hydroxyurea, transfusions and stem cell transplantation.
Their multidisciplinary team is made up of board-certified pediatric hematologists, hematology-trained nurse practitioners and physician assistants, research staff and social workers. In addition, they offer psychological support and counseling services to help families cope with difficult social, emotional and financial issues brought on by the disease’s medical complications, especially debilitating pain crises.
