She was drawn to caring for children with sickle cell disease and several years later joined the sickle cell team. She enjoys caring for and educating patients and families about sickle cell disease.

In 2000, Slade left CHKD to complete her PNP program, returning three years later and working as an RN in the Emergency Department. Soon thereafter she joined the vascular access team.
