Nurse Anna explains Sickle Cell


Nurse Anna Ramsey stopped by to talk about sickle cell disease and what you can do.  The most important thing is to be tested to see if you might be a carrier.  The disease is 100% genetic but many people are carriers and pass it down to their families.  A simple blood test can tell you if you are a carrier.
