Cooley's Anemia Foundation is a US nonprofit dedicated to serving people with all forms of the genetic blood disorder #thalassemia. Cooley’s Anemia Foundation is a U.S. non-profit serving people with various forms of thalassemia. The mission of Cooley’s Anemia Foundation is to increase life expectancy and enhance the quality of life for those impacted by thalassemia, a class of genetic blood disorders, most of which require regular blood transfusions and aggressive management of chronic iron overload, the predominant cause of early death. We do so by funding medical research to advance treatment and curative approaches, by supporting and advising patients and their families and advocating on their behalf, and by educating medical professionals and the general public. Every day, we strive for longer and healthier lives for all patients with thalassemia until a universal cure is found.
