Abstract
This collection contains an interview of Rose Alford (1952-), a social worker with the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) crippled children’s rehabilitative clinic in Orangeburg, South Carolina. Mrs. Alford gives a brief overview of her life, her association with the DHEC, and her work on the sickle cell project throughout the 1970s. Mrs. Alford also describes South Carolina’s private sickle cell groups, the creation of some groups by the community (outside of the DHEC), the goals of the DHEC’s sickle cell programs, and health screenings or tests for sickle cell disease. She also discusses the tension and cooperation between the DHEC and the private sickle cell groups as well as similarities and differences between the two.
