Michigan Sickle Cell Educational Network Exchange (MiSCENE) is a new collaborative effort led by MDHHS's Blood Disorders Unit and the MiSCDC program.
Launching in early 2027, MiSCENE will bring together clinicians, healthcare professionals, community partners, and individuals with lived experience to learn, connect, and share ideas for improving sickle cell care across Michigan. Through quarterly sessions, participants will explore practical resources, standards of care, and insights from those directly impacted by SCD.
Longstanding SCD partners will receive updates and invitations in the coming months. With questions about MiSCENE or about participating, please contact us at genetics@michigan.gov.
Starting January 1, 2027, some adults applying for or already receiving Medicaid through the Healthy Michigan Plan (HMP) will need to work or complete other approved activities to keep their health coverage. To learn more about changes to HMP coverage, including work requirements and exemptions, visit the New Medicaid Work Plan Requirements webpage. The webpage also includes answers to frequently asked questions and will be updated regularly as new information becomes available.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has awarded nearly $400,000 in grants to support five projects aimed at improving access to quality care for individuals living with sickle cell disease (SCD). The funded projects align with Michigan’s 2026-2030 SCD Public Health Strategic Plan and focus on offering resources to providers that can help increase patient access to quality, integrated health care and the use of disease-modifying therapies, as well as improve acute care services delivered to patients living with SCD.
To read the full press release and learn more about the funded grantees, visit the 'Inside MDHHS' webpage featuring the sickle cell press release.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) participated in SCD awareness events across the state, shared educational content on social media and published several reports about Michigan residents living with SCD. Building on these efforts, the Department is renewing its commitment to improving care, support, education and health outcomes for individuals living with SCD. The voices of individuals with SCD, their families and caregivers are central to the efforts underway and the updated strategic plan development. Through collaborative discussions with individuals living with SCD, their caregivers, healthcare providers, advocacy organizations, and community partners, MDHHS has identified six strategic goals to guide continued progress.

CMS Negotiated Contracts: CMS negotiates agreements with pharmaceutical manufacturers on behalf of states. Contracts include standardized access policies and pricing structures. Rebates and price concessions are tied to patient outcomes.
