Scleroderma education programs
The Mid-Atlantic Chapter offers scleroderma education programs locally with leading experts in the field to help individuals understand their disease, cope with the challenges of their symptoms, and find their best path forward. Our chapter also helps to identify local resources that are available to individuals affected by scleroderma through public and private entities.
Available to distribute to your doctors’ offices. Contact the chapter’s office for printed copies.
