This Senate Resolution expresses strong support for designating September 2025 as "Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month" . The primary goal is to educate communities across the United States about sickle cell disease (SCD), an inherited blood disorder that poses a significant health challenge globally and affects an estimated 100,000 individuals in the U.S. The resolution highlights the critical need for increased research, improved early detection methods, the development of effective treatments, and robust preventative care programs to address complications and related conditions. The resolution underscores the severe impact of SCD, which can lead to multiple medical complications, chronic pain, and a significantly shortened life expectancy. It notes that while new gene therapies have been approved and a comprehensive strategic plan exists, more research is still needed to find additional treatments and cures. The Senate encourages the public to actively participate in appropriate programs, events, and activities during this month to raise awareness about the sickle cell trait, preventative care, treatments, and patient services for those affected by SCD.
