"I love this place they is there for you they not only there to treat you they also treat us like family everybody in here from us patients to the staff are family we all is one team they make sure we is comfortable. They treat us better than some er does I rather come here before I go to the er. If I’m not in really bad pain that I think I need to admitted other then that I’m coming here if I have to everyday. When I say it’s a peaceful relaxing home they give us our medicine in they play the soft relaxing music. I wish they had a hot tub but other than that they is a wonderful amazing team."

"Not only am I a patient but the staff there treats me like family. I am always welcomed with a smile. They remember my concerns from the past to connect it with present concerns so that we can have a better prognosis and effective plan of care. So far they have been nothing but good to me. I highly recommend this place, especially when dealing with a horrible illness such as sickle cell. I am always treated with care without assumptions and stereotypes."

"Medical and support staff were compassionate and knowledgeable. They listened to me and adjusted the care plan to address my concerns. This is an essential service and I look forward to the foundation expanding its hours."

"This place is amazing. The ladies at the front desk are very sweet and caring. The nurses and practitioners are great. They sit and talk to you and listen carefully to your concerns. I am very happy to be a patient here. Although it’s not near my home, it’s definitely worth the effort to come every three months for my follow up. I have never gotten treatment at the center but it is inspiring to know that any sickler can come and get treatment to avoid the horrors of being admitted into a hospital for a crisis. I have experienced that horror and would do anything to avoid it. Thank you to the Foundation and everyone involved with making our lives a bit easier."
