In BMC’s Pediatric Sickle Cell Program, our specialists provide comprehensive care for hundreds of pediatric patients and understand the specific needs of kids born with sickle cell disease. We partner closely with your family, other specialists, schools, and other services to help children with SCD lead normal, healthy, carefree lives as much as possible. And as your child approaches adulthood, at around age 21, our Transitional Care Clinic can help your child transfer their care from our Pediatric Sickle Cell Program to our Adult Sickle Cell Program.

BMC researchers are finding innovative new ways to treat and cure blood disorders. As our patient, you'll have access to a wide range of clinical trials from both BMC researchers and researchers at other institutions. While we enroll all eligible patients in clinical trials, BMC physicians are particularly leaders in enrolling under-represented minorities in clinical trials.
