The original Sickle Cell committee or working group was formed in 1976 by a group of concerned citizens that: (1) Recognized there was no place to contact locally for information about sickle cell disease, (2) The sickle cell test was not a standard physician-offered exam, and (3) The analysis of the test results performed often missed the detection of many clinically significant sickling disorders.
Mission
