Scleroderma support group meeting March 11
Scleroderma Foundation Burlington/Camden County Support Group will meet March 11, at 1:30 p.m., at the Cherry Professional Building, first floor conference room, 385 Kings Highway North.
The meeting is free.
Patients, family members, friends and caregivers are invited to attend.
Scleroderma, also known as systemic sclerosis, is a chronic, often progressive autoimmune disease in which the body’s autoimmune system attacks its own tissues. There are 300,000 Americans with Scleroderma, and four out of five are women – usually stricken in the prime of life.  Although medicines can sometimes help treat symptoms, there is no cure yet for Scleroderma.
