A bill to establish a program to address sickle cell disease and other heritable hemoglobinopathies.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a program to address sickle cell disease and other heritable hemoglobinopathies. It does this by creating "Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Centers" that use a "hub-and-spoke" framework to promote access to coordinated, longitudinal healthcare for sickle cell disease patients. The bill provides grants to eligible entities, which are sickle cell disease treatment hub-and-spoke networks that include a medical hub (a hospital, clinic, or university health center) and at least one spoke (a Federally-qualified health center or other healthcare provider) working in partnership with a community-based organization. The centers will provide a range of services, including care coordination, education, social work, and data collection, with the goal of improving health outcomes for those with sickle cell disease.
