RECOGNIZING SEPTEMBER 2024 AS SICKLE CELL DISEASE AWARENESS MONTH IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

This legislative resolution designates September 2024 as Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month in Delaware to highlight the health condition and its impact on the community. The document provides background information on the disease, noting that it affects over 3,000 residents in the state and that the vast majority of patients are from minority backgrounds. It also mentions current efforts by local healthcare providers and a planned statewide data collection program to improve care and policy. Ultimately, the bill serves as a formal acknowledgment rather than a law that changes funding or medical procedures.
