Clark suffers from sickle cell trait, which can cause complications during extreme exercise conditions and hypoxia from high altitudes. In 2007, during a game against the Denver Broncos at Invesco Field at Mile High, he had to be rushed to the hospital in the middle of the game due to Denver's mile high altitude. After returning to Pittsburgh, his spleen and gallbladder were removed in separate operations. Since recovering from his crisis in 2007, Clark has been involved with sickle cell disease awareness, research, treatment and programming in Pittsburgh. Since the 2007 game in Denver, the Steelers have played the Broncos in Denver three times (2009 on aMonday night game, 2010 in a preseason game, and 2012 in playoff game). In all three instances, the Steelers sat an otherwise healthy Clark for his own health, despite having been cleared by doctors to be able to play in the thin mile-high air in Denver without any complications.
