Sickle Talk is back! After a hiatus, Sickle Talk is making its return as a podcast. After three years since our last episode, we return to talk about the American Sickle Cell Anemia Association and how this organization got its start over 50 years ago, and the Newborn Screening Program, a federal and state program that tests newborn babies for dozens of debilitating disorders, including sickle cell anemia.
