The Sickle Cell Foundation of Arizona is the heart of our community — offering education, support, and advocacy for every family touched by sickle cell disease. Now extended through the 360 SCD Hub and powered by The Force for Health Academy.
SCFAZ walks with Arizona families from diagnosis through adulthood — with education, peer support, advocacy, and community. Together with the 360 SCD Hub and FFH Academy, we turn information into action.
Family-friendly, clinically-grounded content on crisis prevention, TCD screening, hydroxyurea, and the full sickle cell care journey — available through the 360 SCD Hub and FFH Academy.
Support groups, youth programs, and caregiver networks across Arizona. You are never alone — and your story strengthens the whole community.
Fighting for research funding, Medicaid access, TCD screening standards, and gene therapy access for every Arizona family living with SCD.
SCD Awareness Month events (September), family picnics, youth camps, and celebrations. Joy is part of prevention too.
