The Section is the Pediatrics arm of the Sickle Cell Center of Louisiana and Hemophilia Care Center. The SSCL provides comprehensive medical care to patients with sickle cell disease integrated with extensive patient education to ensure prevention, prompt recognition and management of long-term complications. Located at the Tulane Pediatrics Specialty Clinic, we offer a large, bright and friendly space for our littlest patients and their families. We embrace a family centered approach by providing outstanding exam and infusion facilities for patients and their accompanying family members. Our inpatient care is located at Tulane Lakeside Hospital for Women and Children – the only dedicated hospital to the specific care of women and children in Jefferson Parish.
Our section staff includes pediatric hematologists/oncologists and the entire community of pediatric specialists at Tulane University. Our multi-disciplinary care helps foster a partnership for our patients and the entire Tulane Pediatrics faculty.
