Georgia Public Libraries

Sickle Cell Awareness Initiative

Georgia has about 14,000 residents with Sickle Cell Disease, making the state one of the top five in the United States for the number of people living with the disease. Public libraries are a great place to reach a diverse population with public health information.

To support awareness efforts in Georgia, MTS Sickle Cell Foundation, in collaboration with the Georgia Sickle Cell Data Collection Program at Georgia State University, are proud to partner with the Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS) to help raise awareness surrounding Sickle Cell Disease and Sickle Cell Trait through the 409 public library facilities across Georgia, with the potential of reaching up to 10.8 million library card holders.
