About this Event
You're invited to Memorial Sickle Cell Medical Home's Sickle Cell Month Blood Drive on September 27, from 10 am - 3:30 pm.
Help make a difference in the lives of those affected by sickle cell disease by donating blood. Let's come together as a community to support those in need. We look forward to seeing you there!
Did You Know?
- People with sickle cell disease may rely on regular blood transfusions throughout their lives to prevent organ and tissue damage, severe pain, and strokes.
- Blood transfusions can help relieve pain during a crisis and prevent other complications by increasing the number of healthy red blood cells in the body.
- African Americans and people of Hispanic ancestry have higher levels of antibodies, which makes their blood compatible with blood transfusion.
- 1 in 3 African American blood donors is a match for a patient with sickle cell disease.
