Moving On, Moving Up!

Transition Program for Adolescents

With Sickle Cell Disease-“Moving On, Moving Up!”

Youth with chronic health conditions face two simultaneous transitions: a developmental transition (from childhood to adolescence to adulthood) and a situational transition (from pediatric to adult health care). They may also have a third transition, from relative health to illness, depending on the progression of their illness.

The goal of Moving On, Moving Up, is to help maintain health care that is uninterrupted, coordinated, developmentally appropriate and psychologically sound prior to and throughout transfer into the adult system.  Success is determined by the continuity and use of appropriate health care services and by maintaining the patient’s health.  Transition planning and preparation involves providing youth and their families with the knowledge and skills they will need to achieve these ends.

For more information, contact the SCPSCC Office at 717-234-3358 and ask for Mr. Osbia “Skip” Jones, Program Coordinator

This Program is funded in part by:

"Stamping Out Sickle Cell Disease"


    
    Through the efforts of tDr. Donald W. Spigner, M.D., and the Board of Directors of South Central Pennsylvania Sickle Cell Council, the idea for the development of the Sickle Cell Disease Commemorative Stamp was born. The unveiling of the Sickle Cell Postage Stamp occurred September 2004 in Los Angleles, California and the stamp was issued for sale September 29, 2004 at the National Conference of the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, Inc. (SCDAA in Atlanta, Georgia). We are very proud!
