SUPPORTERS OF FAMILIES WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE

Our mission is to increase self-efficacy and improve the overall quality of life for individuals living with sickle cell and thalassemia, children, adults and their families within Oklahoma through systemic changes in patient care, disability policies, education, family support, economic self-sufficiency, awareness and advocacy. Our services are provided without discrimination by age, race, ethnicity or gender, and we serve everyone without any discrimination, including individuals who are part of the LGBTQ, at-risk youth, disabled and veteran communities.

Founded in 2004, Supporters of Families with Sickle Cell Disease, Inc. (SFSCD) is the only nonprofit organization (501c3) in Oklahoma dedicated to exclusively serving families living impacted by sickle cell disease (SCD) and its inherited disorders and traits, which is a genetic blood condition. We are committed to increasing education, knowledge, awareness, advocacy, and support for people living with this chronic health condition in Oklahoma and highlighting the challenges and impact to individuals, families and communities living with these diseases.
