Outreach

SCANCA, INC. is committed to improving the community’s understanding of sickle cell disease through a variety of outreach initiatives. Our workshops are designed to enhance sickle cell literacy, providing vital information and fostering a deeper awareness of the disease. These workshops cover a wide range of topics, including current research, legislative issues, educational strategies, healthcare advancements, support services, and advocacy efforts. We collaborate with healthcare professionals from the Washington, DC metropolitan area and beyond, ensuring that our community receives the most up-to-date and relevant information. By hosting these workshops, we aim to empower individuals and families affected by sickle cell disease with the knowledge they need to manage their health effectively.

In addition to workshops, SCANCA, INC. actively participates in local health and charity fairs upon invitation. Our presence at these events is crucial for raising public and professional awareness about the impact of sickle cell disease on overall health. By engaging with the community at these fairs, we strive to create a more informed and supportive environment for those affected by sickle cell disease. Through interactive displays, informative materials, and direct conversations, we educate attendees on the challenges and needs of individuals living with sickle cell disease. Our goal is to inspire a more positive and proactive response from the community, fostering a network of support and understanding.
