Bill overview
The Candis King Hope for Sickle Cell Families Act aims to improve the understanding and management of sickle cell disease in the United States. It directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to establish a data collection program, providing grants to states to gather information on the disease’s incidence, prevalence, demographics, and healthcare usage. Additionally, the bill seeks to reinstate employees of the CDC’s Division of Blood Disorders and Public Health Genomics who were removed due to agency actions. This legislation ultimately seeks to enhance sickle cell disease research and care.
