Greetings,
Although UI Health Sickle Cell Center was put back in the State budget by our Legislators, Gov. Rauner vetoed the budget and his proposed budget still eliminates funding to the Sickle Cell Center.
We won a battle, not the war!
The Patient Council has scheduled two dates next month, National Sickle Cell Awareness Month, to demonstrate at the State of Illinois Building (known as the James Thompson Center) downtown Chicago and make some noise putting pressure on the governor. Issues are and remain:
Restore Sickle Cell Funding and then pass the budget!!!
Support HR0255 that urges Department of Healthcare & Family Services to waive the 30-Day Readmission rule for those with SCD!
We will meet Thursday, August 27, 2015 6p-8p to plan and strategize. There must be a large show of supporters if we want to make an impression as we did in Springfield in May. So please make every effort to attend.
Location: 840 S. Wood Street, Suite 172
time: 6p-8p
Conference Call in will be available:
