SCDAA National SCD Policy Forum
REGISTER TODAY!
The Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, Inc. is proud to present the first-ever National SCD Policy Forum on March 21 & 22, 2023. This tri-collaborative event is hosted by SCDAA, Sick Cells (@sickcells), and the Sickle Cell Community Consortium (@sccconsortium). Our three organizations are working hard to host the most comprehensive advocacy event for sickle cell disease (SCD) to date.
The goal of this event is to:
• Bring together SCD advocates from across the country.
• Build awareness of federal opportunities for SCD.
• Educate legislators on funding and policy interventions that support the needs of SCD Warriors and the SCD community as a whole.
Day 1 will be full of trainings on the 2023 federal priorities for SCD.
Day 2 is our virtual Hill Day, a time for advocates to connect directly with their federal legislators.
