Preventive Care and Education

Prevention is a major focus of care for children with Sickle Cell Disease.  Physical and Screenings are an important way to keep children with Sickle Cell healthy and improve their quality of life. Routine check-ups and screenings are necessary to check the child growth and test their blood and urine for signs of problems. For the child’s health and quality of life, it helps if we can take steps to prevent problems before they start.
