Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Demonstration Program

We work with four regional teams from across the country to increase the number of providers treating persons for sickle cell disease or sickle cell related issues, increase the number of providers prescribing disease modifying therapies, such as hydroxyurea, and increase the number of patients receiving regular care from providers knowledgeable about treating sickle cell disease.
