Explanation

(This amendment adds $250,000 the second year from the general fund for a comprehensive adult sickle cell disease (SCD) program. Historically, Virginia has funded SCD care for children but not for adults. This amendment would establish a comprehensive adult program for sickle cell disease within the Office of Family Health Services and would create a model of care based on the structure of existing pediatric care models.)
