About 100,000 people in the United States have sickle cell disease - most are of African descent. Today, we hosted a forum on the need for diverse blood donors in the fight against this disease.
Our CEO, Celena Roldán facilitated the panel discussion, which highlighted the importance of African Americans donating blood due to unique attributes that can benefit sickle cell patients. Dr. Yvette Miller, executive medical director of the Red Cross, discussed how people with sickle cell historically have been underserved in healthcare. Janine Hopkins, our Illinois region sickle cell account manager and Linda Hubbard, who lost a son to sickle cell, also joined the panel. The conversation included an overview of the disease and its reach, and included a look at the pain and suffering sickle cell patients face on a regular basis. Thank you to all of the panelists for providing your valuable insights today.
