Sickle Cell Disease is a major public health concern.  There are approximately 3,000 children and adults living with SCD in the state of Louisiana.  In prior years, life expectancy for patients living with SCD was not much past the 20s.  However, with improved identification and treatment, life expectancy has greatly improved and patients can live well into their 60's with proper resources.  The purpose of this activity is to discuss current management of adult sickle cell patients in accordance with current recommended NIH guidelines.
