Treatments and Services for Sickle Cell Patients

The carefully coordinated team approach at Broward Health focuses on helping patients minimize the effects of sickle cell disease, manage pain, and receive as much treatment as possible in an outpatient setting. Part of our medical team’s care for patients with sickle cell anemia often includes conducting an annual sickle cell stroke screening. In this procedure, a transcranial doppler ultrasound (TCD) measures the speed of blood flowing through the vessels in the brain. This specialized diagnostic test helps to see if a patient with certain sickle cell anemias may be at risk for stroke.

We incorporate ancillary services, including nutrition and psychosocial counseling, social services, and bone marrow transplant information, to support our comprehensive approach to care. Our Sickle Cell Day Unit is designed for adults to manage pain and improve their quality of life. We also offer referrals for our pediatric patients.
