"Living with sickle cell disease is not a death sentence.  It is but one of life's courses that forces us to utilize inner strength.  The North Carolina Sickle Cell program continuously transcends my expectations, making life as comfortavle as possible.  It has helped me realize that boundaries are only within the mind, not the body.  I value the program for helping my family and me cope with and understand the disease."

J.Fields, Educator/Counselor, Patient 

"When we first learned that our son had sickle cell disease, we were in shock and denial.  We learned so much from the North Carolina Sickle Cell Program that helps us.  Thank you.  Today our son is a very energetic six year old who has tremendous courage to face the disease."

Mr. & Mrs. D. Taylor, Parents

"The program and staff go above and beyond the call of duty.  The broad range of resources and support help people with sickle cell feel good about themselves and how we approach life."
