Our team of local providers is working every day to ensure kids with sickle cell disease have full, active lives. With lifesaving treatments, education and preventative screenings, Seattle Children’s aims to be a support system for your child - from their health to life at school and at home.
“Seattle Children's and OBCC helped to save my daughter's life. They are like our backbone, standing with us.”
– Amna, Jude’s mom
Jude’s pain started at just four days old. Her family was scared and heartbroken, so they went looking for answers – and found Seattle Children’s, together with the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic.
Treating the most kids with sickle cell disease in the Pacific Northwest.
From the North End to the Central District to the South End, local providers are coming together to offer the personalized care that kids in our community need. Your child’s care is led by experts in their fields at Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic and the Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Seattle Children’s hospital campus, with a dedicated and supportive team of sickle cell providers.
Our team ranges from a social worker to a psychologist to help your child and family through the challenges of living with sickle cell. Genetic counseling and testing can help parents and other family members understand the chance of having the sickle cell gene or passing it on.
Having sickle cell disease can be stressful for the entire family. If your child has an urgent need, we will see them right away.
Our services support both urgent and long-term needs.
During visits, we take time to explain your child’s condition, so you can fully understand all your treatment options. Read about our services for patients and families, from financial counseling to interpreter services.
Seattle Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center and the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic are working together to develop the Sickle Cell Disease Program to offer the best care possible for our patients. We’re so grateful for the incredible advocacy of our families, community members and the Metropolitan Seattle Sickle Cell Task Force, who helped us understand that we need to do more for our patients with sickle cell disease. An external Sickle Cell Advisory Board has formed to help guide our efforts to best serve the community. We’re committed to creating a sickle cell center of excellence.
Our team cares for your whole child. We don’t just treat their disease – we connect you to community resources and support groups to care for your whole family.
We can support you and your child with financial counseling, schooling, housing, transportation, legal aid, interpreter services and spiritual care. Read about our services for patients and families.

Seattle Children’s Sickle Cell Disease Program is expanding its inpatient and outpatient care to help ensure kids, teens and young adults with sickle cell disease receive quality care seamlessly between multidisciplinary teams from birth to adulthood.
We offer a full range of treatments to keep your child as healthy as possible and help them control pain.
We watch your child’s health closely and recommend the best treatments for them. Keeping careful track of their health ensures your child gets the care they need before more serious problems start. That helps them feel better and gives them the best chance of successful treatment.
Our treatment options include bone marrow transplant, which can cure this disease. Learn more about how we treat sickle cell disease
