The @MSCAssoc is hosting their Advocacy Day tomorrow. Although sickle cell disease (SCD) is the world’s most common genetic disease, the number of physicians trained and willing to treat patients with SCD is low. Additionally, SCD has a disparate impact on Black people.

Impressed by the scholarship awardees at the Red Ribbon Gala and @MSCAssoc for the dedication with which they strive to make a difference for sickle cell patients. Doing our part @CReM_Boston and @The_BMC Center for Excellence in #SickleCellDisease to contribute to that mission.

Having #sicklecelltrait does not mean you can't donate blood! Check with your provider or a local blood bank to see if your complete medical history makes you eligible to be a #blooddonor. Find a drive near you: redcrossblood.org/ #sicklecell #sicklecelldisease #blooddrive

Blood transfusions are essential for treating patients with sickle cell disease, most of whom are of African descent. To meet these needs, @RedCrossMA is hosting a blood drive on Monday to grow the number of Black donors at the Dorchester YMCA from 9am-2pm #TeamUp4SickleCell
ALT In the US, it is estimated over 100,000 people have sickle cell disease. Most of whom are of African descent.

Blood flow is obstructed in the penile blood vessels and can cause painful and serious damage. #Priapism episodes are considered emergency cases and should thus be dealt with by a medical professional.
