The keynote speaker will be Dr. Wanda Shurney, CEO - Sickle Cell Disease Association of America.

As one of our past chapter presidents Mrs. Edna Adell would say, "Reach One, Teach One" and the importance of paying it forward.

Sickle Cell Disease affects nearly 100,000 Americans. Although it can strike all ethnicities, the great majority of Sickle Cell Disease patients are of African-American or Hispanic origin. The disease is inherited and is caused by a mutated gene that triggers the production of abnormal red blood cells. Patients with Sickle Cell Disease often struggle with lifelong anemia, severe pain and shortened life spans.

We want to thank the previous administration under the leadership of Past President Mrs. Flora Vann who has done a wonderful job in managing the chapter. In December 2017 an election was held and new leadership was put into place.
