BEYOND THE PAIN: From Crisis to Compassion & Wellness
September is Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month a time to move beyond simply recognizing the disease and start changing how we understand, respond to, and care for people living with sickle cell disease.
For many individuals with sickle cell disease, the struggle is more than the pain of a crisis.
👉 It can also mean being misunderstood.
👉 Waiting for pain relief.
👉 Having their symptoms questioned.
👉 Living with repeated hospitalizations.
👉 And trying to maintain wellness while managing a lifelong condition.
What if better understanding could lead to better care?
