Martin Center Sickle Cell Initiative is a human services agency dedicated to aiding and enhancing the lives of those affected by Sickle Cell in Central Indiana.
Our 2024 Annual Campaign ends today. So you still have a chance to contribute to the cause. We know that everyone can't donate $5,000 like Dr. Andrew O'Brien (thanks, Doc!) but we also know that most people can afford to donate at least ten dollars. Thanks for giving!
Today, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) announced the launch of their new Cell and Gene Therapy Access Model, a demonstration aimed at improving access to cell and gene therapy products in the Medicaid program. Read more: https://t.co/gOuXK5yTaG

We are grateful that 2023 brought the news of two potential cures for #Sicklecell. We are hoping for more good news in 2024. In the meantime, we'd like to thank you for your support of our efforts to aid and enhance the lives of those affected by SCD.
U.S. regulators have approved two gene therapies for sickle cell disease. Doctors hope they can cure the painful inherited blood disorder that afflicts mostly Black people in the U.S. https://t.co/0KRxBghntt
We are very excited to share that today, Dec. 8, the Food and Drug Administration approved two gene therapies to treat sickle cell disease! These potentially curative therapies are the first treatments of their kind available to individuals with SCD.
