MediCom’s Recent SCD Experience: The Sunshine Sickle Cell Project
The Sunshine Sickle Project is a comprehensive educational initiative comprised of ten 60-minute, multi-accredited, live, virtual meetings targeting hematologists, primary care providers, pediatric specialists, emergency department clinicians and other healthcare providers who will benefit from education on advances in the prevention of pain crisis in sickle cell disease in Florida. To ensure focus on the critical educational needs of two of the primary clinician groups within the target audience, the Sunshine Sickle Project is divided into two components, with 5 of the 10 meetings focusing specifically on the needs of clinicians who provide care to adult patients with SCD, and 5 meetings developed to address the educational needs of the healthcare team who treat pediatric patients with this disease.

The interactive, educational initiative is led by Lanetta Bronté-Hall, MD, MPH, MSPH. Dr. Bronté-Hall is President of the Society for Sickle Cell Disease Research and a leading national and international researcher and population health scientist in the field of sickle cell disease, rare blood disorders, community-based participatory research, and chronic disease management. Dr. Bronté-Hall is joined by Andrew Campbell, MD, in addressing the specific and unique needs of pediatric patients with SCD. Dr. Campbell is a leading clinical expert in SCD in infants and children and is currently the Director of the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Program at Children’s National Medical Center.
