The mission of the American Sickle Cell Anemia Association (ASCAA) is to ensure the availability and accessibility of quality, comprehensive sickle cell services through diagnostic testing, evaluation, counseling and supportive services to individuals and families at-risk for Sickle Cell Disease. 



ASCAA serves as a repository of information for all fifty states, as well as countries around the world. ASCAA distributes more than 9,250 educational information materials out of state each year (literature/brochures). ASCAA also responds annually to thousands of direct inquiries for information via our website, and provides information to patients and their families through direct, verbal or email communication, including referrals and links to local resources. ASCAA also reaches out-of-state and internationally to provide informational resources and referrals to schools, businesses, and the media.
