Mourning the Loss of Professor Kwaku Ohene-Frempong
With great sadness, we announce the passing of Emeritus Professor Kwaku Ohene-Frempong. He was Director Emeritus of the CHOP Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center and Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics at CHOP and Penn. “KOF” as he was widely known, dedicated his more than four-decades long career to improving the lives of people with sickle cell disease. May he rest in peace, and may the work he devoted his life to – the support of patients with sickle cell disease and their families in all settings continue and be strengthened for decades to come.

CHOP Open-access Medical Education is supported in part by a generous grant from the Leir Foundation.
