For patients like Abjei-Sarpong, a 25-year-old sickle cell patient who depends on Medicaid to help cover her life-saving treatments, these sweeping changes could be devastating.

Ahead of Juneteenth and World Sickle Cell Day, a Houston organization is hosting an event to bring awareness to the disease and the community it disproportionally impacts.

Sickle Cell disease can be a very scary issue to deal with however, with proper monitoring and care, many people are able to live their life to its full capacity with minor complications.

You hear it often: There’s a need for blood donors -- but there’s apparently a particular need for the Black community to step up and donate.

After two years of hosting their annual Sickle Cell 10K, 5K and 1K ace on a virtual platform, the Houston-based “As One Foundation” is happy to announce that the 2022 race will be in person again.
