Our Organizational Goals

At Bridging The Gap Our Goal

is committed to providing services, programs, and opportunities that substantially improve the lives of Sickle Cell Warriors. In our efforts, we aspire to enhance their quality of life by ensuring access to quality healthcare and patient-oriented services.

 

Our mission is all-encompassing - we are focused on not only addressing immediate health concerns but fostering lasting relationships with the community and partner organizations for ongoing support. Furthermore, we endeavor to inspire Sickle Cell Warriors, equipping them with the skills needed to shape the life they desire. Our ultimate aim lies not just in coping with the condition, but in empowering our warriors to lead a fulfilling, self-determined life.

At Bridging The Gap Our Mission

is to meet the needs of Sickle Cell Warriors, caregivers and families through services such as medical, educational, and social resources and see them readily available throughout the State of Nevada. Programs provided are monthly group meetings- which include our Transition program called “Its Time” for young people transitioning in life, from ages 13 to 25; a general support group for Adults and Caregivers, and a support group meet up for Men Only. We also host 4 events a year at this time to bring education and awareness to the Las Vegas community.

Our Mission

Our Vision

At Bridging The Gap Our Vision

is to help Sickle Cell Disease families live a limitless and less challenging life; to see beyond the pain, dream pass the disease, and move forward in spite of. We also worked with Senator Neal in the writing of the first Sickle Cell bill that addresses the need for surveillance and some changes to the only medication in 2019 that was FDA approved for Sickle Cell patients. Thank you Governor Sisolak for signing Bill AB254.
