The Challenge

Adults living with sickle cell disease (SCD) in California faced fragmented care, limited resources, and significant barriers to comprehensive health services. The Sickle Cell Disease Foundation (SCDF) needed a transformative initiative to address these gaps and improve patient outcomes statewide.

The Solution

The Hills Tandem (THT) partnered with SCDF to co-architect and implement the Networking California for Sickle Cell Care (NCSCC) program. Together, we developed an integrated care model that combined clinical services with wrap-around support to meet the holistic needs of SCD patients across the state.

Program Design: Co-developed a groundbreaking initiative that integrated clinical care, mental health services, patient education, and social support for a fully holistic approach.

Service Integration: Reduced hospitalizations by 20% and ER visits by 11% through the seamless integration of care services.

Legislative Advocacy: Secured vital funding and infrastructure support by collaborating with state legislators to design policies that ensure program sustainability.

Key Results

Improved Health Outcomes: NCSCC’s holistic model reduced ER visits and hospitalizations, setting a new benchmark for SCD care.

Statewide Collaboration: Built a robust network of care providers and support services across California to improve access and coordination.

Policy Wins: Secured legislative funding and support, ensuring the program’s long-term impact.

The Impact

NCSCC has redefined SCD care in California, offering a replicable blueprint for other states. By prioritizing accessibility, advocacy, and holistic services, this initiative has transformed the lives of SCD patients while setting a national example for integrated healthcare solutions.
