The structural disparities in medicine experienced by people with SCD are most apparent when patients seek pain relief when they are in excruciating pain from vaso-occlusive episodes— patients are often labeled as drug-seeking and left to suffer. Other issues faced by the SCD community include the lack of resources for the transition from pediatric hematology to adult SCD care and social determinants of health that play a crucial role in disease management and health equity.The PATHS (Prioritizing Access To High-Quality Sickle Cell Care in Prince George's County) project, funded by Maryland's Community Health Resources Commission, is working towards addressing these problems by increasing adult SCD expert providers at the University of Maryland, Capital Region Health's (UM Capital) new infusion clinic to meet the needs of people with SCD in Prince George’s (PG) County. By increasing resources at Children's National (CN), the project also aims to help children ages 13 and older receive transition services. This meeting will be an opportunity for the community to hear updates on the progress of the project."Today's Topic: We discussed the Town Hall Meeting Held at University of Maryland Capital Region Health Here are the questions we chatted about during our discussion:Intro (Timestamp 02:05) 1.
