SCD Health Care Transition Programs

SCD (Sickle Cell Disease) Health Care Transition Programs prepare adolescents and young adults with Sickle Cell Disease to move from pediatric to adult healthcare services smoothly. These programs focus on teaching important self-care skills, understanding their condition, and navigating adult healthcare systems. The goal is to empower individuals to manage their health proactively, communicate effectively with healthcare providers, and ensure continuous, coordinated care as they grow older. This transition helps reduce health risks, improves quality of life, and encourages independence in managing their Sickle Cell Disease.
