This program aims to enhance the health outcomes of individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD) in the United States by expanding access to care, improving care quality, and tracking quality of life indicators. Awardees will serve as Regional Coordinating Hubs (RCHs), collaborating with clinical and community partners within their regions and engaging in continuous quality improvement initiatives. The program addresses gaps in care, especially during the transition from childhood to adulthood, and seeks to ensure broader access to the latest disease-modifying therapies and best practices.
