Our thought for today is from Psalm 135:14: "For the Lord will vindicate his people, and have compassion on his servants."

Let us pray. Have compassion, O Lord, on Your people who strive to make everything better. In mercy and love make these Representatives and staff work together for the good of this State and her people. By Your hand uphold them in Your tender care. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders as they care for us and protect us. Make Your face to shine upon our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who give of their time, effort, and courage. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.

In developing and implementing the South Carolina Statewide Telemedicine Network, the department and the authority shall include the goals set forth in this provision to bring better care to individuals with sickle cell disease or trait.

The Department of Health and Human Services shall be authorized to pursue a Health Services Initiative (HSI) through the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for the purposes of improving child and maternal health when either or both exhibit the sickle cell disease or trait, and improve outreach, access to crisis stabilization, and coping resources for children with sickle cell disease.

By January fifteenth of the current fiscal year, the department and the authority shall each submit a report to the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, and the Governor outlining their progress on these initiatives.   /
