Through the voice of select trusted personalities and medical professionals, we'll provide facts, prevention tips, action steps, and access to Black Health 365 information every single day of the year.

Its estimated 1 in 13 Black /African American babies in the U.S. is born with sickle cell trait but many individuals are unaware if they carry this trait because they were never tested.
