Sickle Cell Disease in Fort Wayne
By Teagan Bowie, Teia Hackley, Mania Massoud, Kyla Spell, and Rebekah Rose
Fort Wayne, Indiana has a high number of people living with Sickle Cell Disease and it was discovered that they do not always seek treatment. This group conducted calls to local clinics and physician offices to find out if they see and treat Sickle Cell patients. Students also connected with a local support group to assist with the distribution of educational materials. They were able to share their findings with The Martin Center, a non-profit organization located in Indianapolis, that serves as Indiana’s Sickle Cell resource center.
