The Sunday Sit-Down
When: The last Sunday of the month
The Ohio Chapter will host a Sunday Sit-down on Facebook Live hosted by Lucille Miller on the last Sunday of the month.
The Ohio 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.
