Not Just A Black Disease w/ André Marcel Harris

Not Just A Black Disease w/ André Marcel Harris

About 100,000 American have sickle cell disease (SCD), an inherited disorder marked by sickle-shaped blood cells that can lump together, causing blockages of blood vessels, strokes, anemia, and early death. As a group, people with sickle cell disease experience worse health outcomes compared to other diseases and have access to fewer health resources. Today, we join André Marcel Harris, sickle cell disease advocate to discuss the current standard of care for SCD, and some of the structural barriers that interfere with access and treatment.
