    Sickle Cell Advocacy Updates!

     

    The President of the United States Signs the Sickle Cell Treatment Act of 2018! 

    Advocacy Efforts Create Legislative Victory!

     

    On December 18, 2018, S.2465 - The Sickle Cell Disease and Other Heritable Blood Disorders Research, Surveillance, Prevention, and Treatment Act of 2018  - was signed into law by the President. 

    Click here to read more!

     

    The bill (S.2465) represents a commitment by the government to continue much-needed research geared towards increasing the understanding of prevalence, distribution, outcomes, and therapies associated with sickle cell disease (SCD). It also reauthorizes SCD prevention and treatment grants awarded by the Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA), and it authorizes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to award SCD surveillance grants to states, academic institutions and non-profit organizations.
