Our flagship event for World Sickle Cell Day. A direct conversation about one of the most common experiences in our community: not being believed in the emergency room during a pain crisis.
Patients and caregivers share what’s helped them be heard, followed by a practical session on getting through a crisis at home or at work. This event closes with a blood donor drive in partnership with Canadian Blood Services.
Held for World Sickle Cell Day (June 19), alongside National Blood Donor Week and World Blood Donor Day (June 14).
