Today is World Sickle Cell Day! Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder that causes “sickle” shaped red blood cells that can stick together, blocking blood flow and oxygen from reaching all parts of the body. People with SCD can experience pain, anemia, infection, and other serious health problems.
Adults and children who have sickle cell disease may qualify for Children’s Special Health Care Services (CSHCS), which offers coverage and referrals for specialty health services. Learn more: https://www.livgov.com/health/ph/Pages/childhealthcare.aspx.
