Black patients and Hematology
Black hematologists: sickle cell, anemia, clotting, and blood cancers. Over 90 percent of U.S. sickle cell patients are Black, and specialist centers matter.
Sickle cell disease affects roughly 100,000 Americans, more than 90 percent of whom are Black (CDC). Despite affecting 1 in 365 Black births, sickle cell patients face documented undertreatment of pain in emergency departments and limited access to comprehensive care centers. Fewer than 40 of those centers exist nationally. Hematologists also treat iron-deficiency anemia (twice as common in Black women), inherited clotting disorders, and blood cancers like multiple myeloma, which disproportionately affects Black Americans.
Multiple myeloma is 2 to 3 times more common in Black than white Americans (Landgren, Blood), and Black patients experience longer diagnostic delays.

Glaucoma in Black adults: why screening can save your sight
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in Black Americans, who develop primary open-angle glaucoma far more often than White Americans, earlier, and with faster progression.

This guide covers why it goes undetected, the real risk factors, what a full dilated eye exam involves, how often Black adults should be screened, and the treatments that protect vision.
