About South Central PA Sickle Cell Council
The South Central PA Sickle Cell Council (SCPA SCC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) in the South Central Pennsylvania region. Through education, advocacy, and direct services, we work to improve the quality of life for those living with SCD while increasing public awareness about the disease. Our programs provide critical resources such as health screenings, educational workshops, financial assistance, and community support initiatives to help individuals manage their condition and navigate the healthcare system. In addition to providing direct support, SCPA SCC collaborates with healthcare providers, schools, and community organizations to expand access to care and promote early detection. We actively engage in outreach efforts, such as hosting blood drives, health and wellness events, and educational programs to ensure that individuals know their SCT status and understand the impact of SCD. Our mission is to empower the community with the knowledge and resources needed to advocate for better healthcare, improved treatment options, and long-term policy changes that support individuals living with sickle cell.
