Learn more about sickle cell disease

Adolescence can be a challenging time for your child living with sickle cell disease.  Your child may experience more complications from sickle cell disease as he or she ages, and you may have questions about what life with sickle cell disease will look like as your child transitions from a teenager to an adult. Project LAUNCH is a pediatric to adult transition program created by your child's care team at Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin, Texas specifically for teens and young adults with sickle cell disease. Watch the videos below to learn what every teenager with sickle cell disease should know about their condition and how to stay healthy.
