As Vertex Patient Educators, we are committed to providing education about sickle cell disease (SCD) and beta thalassemia and working closely with those living with these diseases to help them feel supported.

Vertex Patient Educators are not able to provide medical advice. Your healthcare team is always your primary source for information related to your health and treatment, or the health and treatment of someone you care for.

What do Vertex Patient Educators do?

EDUCATE

We provide information to community members to help them better understand the conditions they are living with.

CONNECT

We connect with the community at the local level to listen and learn about their experiences.

EMPOWER

We share educational resources with the community to help them have meaningful conversations with their healthcare teams.
