About this clinic
This clinic is part of the Adult Inherited Bleeding & Red Cell Disorders Program of BC/Yukon.
The Adult Red Cell Disorders Program (RCDP) is dedicated to advancing the understanding and treatment of red blood cell disorders. Our program focuses on comprehensive care and innovative treatments for conditions such as sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and other inherited red blood cell disorders (called ‘hemoglobinopathies’).
Located within St. Paul’s Hospital, the Red Cell Disorders Program services the BC and Yukon regions, specializing in managing sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and other inherited red blood cell disorders.
Within the RCDP, we believe in a holistic approach to patient care. Our goal is to improve the physical, psychological and social health of our patients, enhancing their overall quality of life. We offer support for both the short-term and long-term effects of sickle cell disease, thalassemia and other red blood cell disorders. Our team has extensive experience in managing iron overload and can connect patients with other specialists for pain management, blood transfusion and other complex health issues.
