As we continue to recognize Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month, we are excited to announce the expansion of Prisma Health Sickle Cell Lifespan Center with locations in Greenville and Columbia. The systemwide program is designed to provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for patients with sickle cell disease—from childhood diagnosis through adulthood.

The milestone was celebrated Wednesday, Sept. 10, with a ribbon cutting ceremony that included remarks by Jonathan Gleason, Executive Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer for Prisma Health, sickle cell program leaders Alan Anderson, MD, and Carla Roberts, MD, as well as South Carolina Representative Chandra Dillard of District 23, who championed a $2 million investment from the State of South Carolina to help expand lifelong sickle cell services across the communities we serve.

The expansion marks a significant milestone in sickle cell care offered by Prisma Health in South Carolina, especially the expansion of the adult clinic in the Midlands which will offer more advanced services including access to disease-modifying medications, blood transfusions, transformative therapies, and clinical trials for emerging treatments. https://bit.ly/4pomjj0

In Greenville, two sisters, Jessica and Jordyn, gave birth at Prisma Health Patewood Hospital on the same day. Only 13 months apart themselves, the sisters gave birth to baby girls who are only 17 minutes apart. Both were delivered by the same doctor.

National Sickle Cell Awareness Month is observed every September. Sickle cell disease is estimated to affect about 100,000 people within the United States of America, with nearly 90% of those affected being African American.

Despite the need for ongoing care for the condition, people living with sickle cell disease often struggle to access treatment.

At Prisma Health, we stand with our sickle cell patients and their loved ones. We are dedicated to providing treatment for chronic and acute pain and lessening the risks of complications like stroke or kidney disease. We are here for children and adults with sickle cell and their families at birth and beyond.

Together, we can raise awareness, support ongoing and expanded research and help those living with sickle cell disease look ahead to the future with hope. You can find resources on this topic at our Flourish website: https://bit.ly/4m9ExSv
