COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - New funding in the state budget will help bring healthcare access to all sickle cell patients in the state. This is all due to a partnership with Childrenâs Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory, and the Morehouse School of Medicine.
A name known locally will also play a major role in these efforts.
In an era of strong political divides, a nice bipartisan moment happened this week when local and state leaders gathered and recognized Georgiaâs âDean of the Houseâ - Columbusâ own representative Calvin Smyre.
