This episode of Black Blood Heals looks at how medical disparities affect people in the sickle cell community. Sickle Cell affects 1 in 365 African-Americans, about 100,000 individuals in the U.S.. Sickle Cell is the most common inherited or genetic disease in the U.S., yet historically receives far less funding than diseases which primarily affect Caucasian populations. Hear from Dr. Simone Eastman Uwan, a Stanford Medical School trained Family Physician and Author who actively manages her own battle with Sickle Cell disease.
