Goal: Increase patient knowledge and understanding of the blood they are receiving to advocate for their own medical care when
seen at a hospital other than a sickle cell center.
Focus: Knowledge and understanding of transfusions for patients and parents about the blood products they receive. Understanding matched blood, the long term risks of chronic transfusions, logistics required by the blood center/hospital to obtain matched
