Title

  • 2024 Illinois Sickle Cell Statewide Impact and Surveillance Program Report

Description

  • The information contained in this report serves as a sad reminder of the tremendous toll that SCD takes on patients and families. It means frequent trips to emergency departments and hospital admissions. It means recurring difficulties in finding qualified caregivers, negotiating insurance coverage challenges, and even finding transportation to obtain necessary services. And all too often, it means a premature death.The data is sobering, but it is also essential to our mission to identify resources and solutions that can help SCD patients and their families get the help they need to live longer, happier, and healthier. The information contained here will help us, in collaboration with the health care community and with the support of our legislative partners, to break down the geographic, financial, and bureaucratic barriers to care and to help people across the state get the medical, psychological, and social assistance they need to live and thrive after an SCD diagnosis.
