The Tennessee Sickle Cell Disease Surveillance Program

Our Mission

“Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for individuals affected by sickle cell disease through data collection, analysis, and targeted public health initiatives.”

A robust disease surveillance program is an essential part of a public health approach to improving outcomes for the sickle cell community by identifying and monitoring geographical discrepancies and incongruities in care provision and providing opportunities for tracking the impact of important disease-modifying therapies.

Given the high prevalence of SCD in Tennessee, we aim to provide comprehensive, high-quality data to educate the public and offer valuable resources to the sickle cell community.
