## Summary

**Hub-and-spoke Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Centers** would be created through federal grants to build coordinated, lifelong care networks for people with sickle cell disease and related hemoglobinopathies and to fund a National Sickle Cell Disease Coordinating Center to guide strategy, data, and quality improvement. - Families and patients: People with SCD would gain access to coordinated specialty and primary care, telehealth where feasible, pediatric-to-adult transition programs, reproductive health coordination, and support services like social work and community health workers. - Community groups and underserved areas: Community-based nonprofits would run outreach and address social drivers of health such as food, housing, education, and transportation. Grants may prioritize partnerships with historically Black colleges and universities or minority-serving institutions and target high-burden and rural regions. - Providers and health systems: Eligible networks must include a medical hub with a designated SCD expert plus spokes. Grants would fund provider education, data reporting to CDC’s Sickle Cell Data Collection, quality improvement, and assistance getting patients into insurance and reimbursement pathways.
