Her work reaches into WA as well as Alaska, and  Idaho.

The Sickle Cell Foundation program educates the community via workshops and dissemination of sickle cell educational materials, radio, television, newsletters and the social media and provides focus groups and helps with personal medical protocols carried by clients daily should they be seen by new emergency physicians.
