Voices of Winged Warriors (VOWW) does not give personal medical advice or answer personal medical questions.

​

VOWW offers a Care Map comprising survey results and anecdotal information collected from the community of individuals with sickle cell and caregivers of individuals with sickle cell. VOWW also provides links to physicians, specialists, and various medical professionals on its web site. However, VOWW does not make referrals to these or other physicians, specialists, hematologists, medical professionals. We can't maintain current information on whether such persons meet professional criteria across the wide variety of medical disciplines and geographic regions. Nor can we know enough about an individual's medical history, healthcare needs, financial or insurance situation to make proper referrals. Care Map ratings are provided as a starting place to help you conduct your due diligence in finding a care provider.

​

From time to time, the organization may issue official policy or position statements about a specific issue related to sickle cell disease or medical treatment of the condition.

 

If you have questions about emergency care standards for sickle cell, please visit our companion site at www.sicklecellstat.org. You can find information to connect with a sickle cell navigator if you need help getting care while in the ER or hospitalized and also find information about how to report poor care.
