About

Cayenne Wellness Center & Children’s Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to serving individuals and families affected by sickle cell disease and other rare conditions. Since 2000, we have worked to eliminate health disparities by providing culturally competent education, counseling, and community-based programs that improve quality of life.
Our services include mental health counseling, sickle cell trait education, caregiver support, health advocacy, client assistance, housing support, and professional development for healthcare providers. We host signature events such as the Annual Sickle Cell Disease Educational Summit, Blood Drives, and community health awareness campaigns that bring together patients, caregivers, physicians, researchers, and advocates.

At Cayenne Wellness Center, we believe true wellness is holistic—encompassing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. By fostering collaboration, raising awareness, and amplifying the voices of those impacted, we are building a stronger, healthier future for the sickle cell community and beyond.
