Candis King Hope for Sickle Cell Families Act

Key Points

• This bill creates a national program to track how many people have sickle cell disease and where they live. It provides 10 million dollars each year to states to help them collect this information and share it with the CDC.
• The goal is to help doctors and researchers understand who is getting sick and what kind of medical care they are using. This information will be used to improve treatments and help families manage the disease more effectively.
• The bill also requires the CDC to bring back employees who worked on blood disorders but were let go during large staff cuts or reorganizations in 2025. This ensures the government has enough experts to handle the new research and data collection.
