AS ONE FOUNDATION

Description

The As One Foundation, established in 2007 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, empowers the global sickle cell population one sickle cell family at at time. All As One Foundation events and activities acknowledge sickle cell trait and sickle cell disease as factors existing not independent of each other but because of each other. Sickle disease births are prospectively the result of procreation between two sickle cell trait positive parents and any combination of at least one sickle cell disease parent will certainly result in a sickle cell trait birth at best. In order to increase quality health care and directly address disparities associated with chronic and acute blood conditions, we seek to fill knowledge gaps of patients, caregivers, family and community members and even health care providers. All-embracing information is provided through in-person and digital delivery methods to empower those of living with, affected by or are caregivers of people of varying sickle cell genotypes.
