SCTPN

SCTPN, a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt organization, provides education, advocacy, referral services, and support for individuals and families living with sickle cell disease (SCD), thalassemia (Cooley's Anemia), and other inherited blood disorders... SCTPN provides scholarships to young adults with SCD to assist them with college expenses. We also provide public education programs to help increase awareness and knowledge of hemoglobin disorders. We serve as advocates/liaisons for families and healthcare professionals at hospitals, throughout the New York Tri-State area, that provide comprehensive care for sickle cell disease and coordinate referrals to needed services. SCTPN is committed to helping diminish the negative social, psychological, and economic impact of these debilitative disorders on our community.
