The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) funds two grant initiatives under the Sickle Cell Services Program related to sickle cell disease, sickle cell trait and other hemoglobinopathies: the Sickle Cell Initiative and the Statewide Family Support Initiative.  As a public health program, the Sickle Cell Services Program works to:

  • Ensure and enhance the availability and accessibility of quality, comprehensive sickle cell services and care for newborns, children and adults.
  • Promote public/patient/consumer/family/professional education to increase awareness and knowledge about sickle cell disease, sickle cell trait and other hemoglobinopathies.
  • Increase strategies to maximize collaboration, coordination and utilization of all sickle cell-related services and resources in Ohio.
