PEOPLE LIVING WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE NEED CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE TO COMPREHENSIVELY TREAT THEIR CONDITION.
The Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Centers Act of 2022 (H.R. 8855/S. 4866), introduced by Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Representative Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), and Representative Danny Davis (D-Ill.), would address the unmet needs of patients with SCD, sickle cell trait, and other heritable hemoglobinopathies through the establishment of and funding for a nationwide system of treatment centers as well as much-needed provider and patient training and education resources.
The legislation establishes a nationwide network of more than 120 Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Centers based on a hub-and-spoke framework and provides support for 100 community-based organizations, creates a National Coordinating Center to coordinate the National Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Center Program, and authorizes appropriations of $535,000,000 for fiscal year 2023 and each fiscal year thereafter.
