# About the Sickle Cell Disease Community of Practice
On May 15, 2024, Ontario Health launched a Sickle Cell Disease Community of Practice. Its goal is to create a group that will champion improvements to the quality of care that people with SCD receive across all care settings in Ontario, by implementing the Sickle Cell Disease quality standard.
The community of practice is hosted in an online space on Quorum. This space includes a discussion forum, a document library with tools and resources, and a member directory for networking with other health care teams doing work related to SCD. The community of practice holds regular interactive webinars focusing on topics and content streams that are relevant to the entire community, or to subgroups.
