Championing Legislative Reform for Sickle Cell Disease in Maryland
At the Sickle Cell Coalition of Maryland, we believe true advocacy begins in our homes and communities. That’s why we partner with grassroots organizations across the state to urge the General Assembly to guarantee equitable access to comprehensive care, innovative therapies, and a robust social support safety net. By elevating the lived experiences of patients and caregivers, we empower our state lawmakers to enact meaningful, lasting change for those affected by sickle cell disease.
