We recognize the power of knowledge in breaking down barriers and dispelling myths surrounding sickle cell anemia. Through our educational initiatives, we are committed to providing accurate, accessible, and up-to-date information about the disorder to individuals, families, and communities. Our goal is to empower those affected by sickle cell anemia with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their health, treatment options, and overall well-being.

Our advocacy efforts are driven by a passion for change and a commitment to addressing the unique challenges faced by individuals with sickle cell anemia. We work tirelessly to raise awareness about the disorder’s impact on individuals and families and advocate for policies and initiatives that prioritize research, improved healthcare access, and better quality of life for those affected. We believe that through collective action and a strong voice, we can influence positive change at local, national, and global levels.

Living with sickle cell anemia can be physically and emotionally demanding, and we understand that no one should face these challenges alone. At the John A. Thompson Sr. Foundation, we are a pillar of support for individuals and families navigating the complexities of the disorder. We offer a range of support services, including patient assistance programs, peer support networks, and access to resources that help improve the overall quality of life for those affected by sickle cell disease. Our goal is to foster a sense of community, resilience, and hope among our members.
