Our Story

The Sickle Cell Association of South Louisiana was established in 1974 to provide essential sickle cell testing for children in the Head Start Program. Recognizing a significant number of positive cases, the organization evolved to support individuals affected by sickle cell disease. Originally named The Baton Rouge Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation, Inc., it has expanded its reach across southern Louisiana, changing its name in 2018 to better reflect its mission.

Impact

For over 47 years, SCASL has been a beacon of hope for the community, offering vital resources and support to those living with sickle cell disease. The organization has seen a steady increase in participating clients and has gained national recognition as the most improved sickle cell foundation in the United States.
