The @MSCAssoc is hosting their Advocacy Day tomorrow. Although sickle cell disease (SCD) is the world’s most common genetic disease, the number of physicians trained and willing to treat patients with SCD is low. Additionally, SCD has a disparate impact on Black people.

I am proud to be the first legislator to ever secure money in the state budget for @MSCAssoc. I also proudly filed amendment #1317 to the budget this year which would provide $250,000 to the Association. Ask your legislator to sign on to this amendment today!

Did you know that about 1 in 13 African Americans carry the sickle cell trait and many don’t know they have it? As an inherited disorder, it is not contagious, but it is passed on through genetics.

Happy September!

September is #SickleCellAwarenessMonth! Let us be intentional about raising awareness this month! We are still in need of more research and treatment for SCD. Continue to educate others and spread the word! #SickleCellMatters
