The Office of Civic Engagement is partnering with Center of Disease Control and Prevention to host the 3rd Annual Sickle Cell Disease Education Symposium. The evening will include presentations from a historian that will provide an overview of the first two case histories of sickle cell disease, a CDC scientist will discuss the public health impact of SCD and current CDC activities and a national community leader will discuss the future of SCD from a community based organization perspective. In addition to providing a forum to inform patients, families, community leaders, and health care providers about the public health impact of SCD, the goal of the symposium is to promote community engagement and advocacy.
The Symposium will be held on Monday, September 13, 2010 at 6:45 – 8:00 p.m. in Speakers Auditorium within the Student Center at Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA.
