The NCAA requires all college athletes to complete a sickle cell test in order to compete. This test helps determine whether an athlete has sickle cell disease, a condition that can cause serious health risks during intense physical activity. While not contagious, the condition can affect an athlete’s ability to safely participate in sports.

Testing is completed with a simple blood draw and sent to a certified outside lab for analysis, with results typically ready in just a few days. Patients are welcome to walk in anytime between 8 AM and 8 PM for testing—no appointment required.
