The Sickle Cell/Thalassemia Patients Network (SCTPN) on behalf of all of the other sickle cell disease (SCD) community organizations are circulating a letter to the Chairs of the Assembly and Senate Health Committees for support of the Sickle Cell Disease Education and Detection bill S1839.

If your organization supports the Senate Bill S1839 (Sanders), email “Yes, I Support” to Ginger Davis gdavis@sctpn.net or Ashley Thompkins at Ashley.thompkins@sctpn.net.
