At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on September 11, 2007, Commissioner Greene (right) presented a proclamation to Yvette Coursey declaring September 2007 as "Sickle Cell Month" in Palm Beach County.

Children's Medical Services Southeast Region VII, which includes Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Ft. Pierce, joined forces with the Sickle Cell Foundation of Palm Beach County to increase awareness of education opportunities and counseling services for parents of newborns found to have the sickle cell trait or sickle cell disease.

Following routine newborn screening tests at Department of Health laboratories, parents of newborns with the sickle cell trait are notified by letter from the Department of Health. With the new partnership, the Southeast CMS office medical director sends parents contact names and other information for the local Sickle Cell Foundation. A flyer from the Sickle Cell Foundation also is included.
