A light gray background with red decorative elements and scattered red and blue circles representing blood cells. On the left is a red awareness ribbon with a black outline. The top right displays "September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month" in dark text. Below is an informational paragraph in black text explaining: "Sickle cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder where red blood cells are abnormally shaped (sickle or crescent-shaped) instead of the normal disc shape. These sickle cells can block blood flow in small vessels, causing pain, organ damage, and other complications. It's a lifelong condition with varying severity." At the bottom left is the red Rutgers University "R" logo followed by "RUTGERS-NEW BRUNSWICK Office of Disability Services" in black text.

Thanks to Starr International Foundation, capacity to treat sickle cell at the Haematology Day Unit at The Royal London Hospital is up by 43%. Using the ARCET machine reduces pain, stroke risk & organ damage. Apheresis machine access is transforming care. #SickleCellAwarenessMonth
