Partner with usEvery drop matters — here's where they go.
Seven commitments. Not a service menu — a standing campaign we run year-round, in partnership with patients, families, clinicians, and the wider Saskatchewan community.
Awareness & Education
Workshops, campaigns, and educational content that build understanding of anemia, sickle cell disease, hemophilia, thalassemia, blood cancers, and related health challenges.
Support Services
Psychosocial support through peer groups, hospital visitations, a caregiver program, and mentorship — especially for international students and people without family support nearby.
Healthcare Engagement
Equipping healthcare professionals with culturally and patient-experience-informed knowledge and best practices for managing blood-related disorders, particularly sickle cell disease.
Wellness & Pain Management
Holistic wellness programs, including mental health workshops and physical fitness sessions tailored to people living with chronic conditions.
Advocacy
Promoting access to healthcare, disability incentives, and inclusive health policies that improve quality of life for patients.
Community Mobilization
Building a robust network of volunteers, sponsors, donors, and community leaders to drive and support the mission and amplify its reach.
Research & Collaboration
Partnering with academic institutions, researchers, and policy bodies to drive data-informed policy, foster innovation, and advance treatment approaches.
We work alongside the institutions already serving our community.
