Sickle Cell Community Services
Sickle Cell Community Services (SCCS) supports individuals and their families affected by Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), through coordinated care across systems. SCCS’s focus on coordinated holistic care not only strengthens communication between clients, families, and care teams; it also improves collaboration across public health and service systems.
In addition to its work at the individual level, SCCS aims to increase community awareness and understanding of SCD by offering education about the disease and promoting equitable access to supportive services. Sickle Cell Community Services is a program of PHMC subsidiary Health Promotion Council.
