Sickle Cell Disease

image to sickle cell logoThis June, Community Health Charities joins member charity, Sickle Cell Disease Association of American (SCDAA) in recognizing World Sickle Cell Day on June 19. Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a serious disorder in which the body makes sickle-shaped red blood cells. Sickle cells contain abnormal hemoglobin called hemoglobin S and they tend to block blood flow in the blood vessels of the limbs and organs. Blocked blood flow can cause pain and organ damage. It can also raise the risk for infection.
