Dr. Douglas Lindsay is the Medical Director of the Sickle Cell Disease Program at Nemours Children’s Hospital, Florida, where she has led clinical and programmatic efforts since 2015. She specializes in pediatric hematology-oncology and bone marrow transplantation, with a deep focus on improving outcomes for children living with sickle cell disease. Prior to her current role, she created and directed the Sickle Cell Bone Marrow Transplant Program at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, establishing one of the first curative-focused transplant initiatives for sickle cell patients in the region.
Dr. Douglas Lindsay completed her pediatric residency at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital at Holtz Children’s Hospital and her fellowship in Pediatric Hematology-Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplantation at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
She is a strong advocate at both local and national levels. As a member of the American Society of Hematology’s Committee on Government Affairs, she travels annually to Capitol Hill to advocate for legislation and funding that supports children with hematologic diseases—especially sickle cell disease.
In addition, she works with the National Marrow Donor Program to expand unrelated donor registries, aiming to increase transplant accessibility for underrepresented populations. Her advocacy and clinical leadership earned her multiple awards including the Woman of Impact Award from the NFL Players’ Wives Association in 2015.
Dr. Douglas Lindsay continues to combine patient care, program development, and health policy to advance equity and innovation in pediatric hematology.
