Sarcoidosis Center

Brief Overview

The Sarcoidosis Center is a non-profit corporation (501 (c)(3)) designed to provide information for patients and physicians regarding sarcoidosis. It is hoped that widespread exchange of information and international exposure will foster cooperation among similar groups. Through improved communication, closer ties can be established and a directory of physicians who care for sarcoidosis patients may also be developed and shared among groups. Assistance with establishing support groups in a structured fashion and information on how to deal with the crises as they occur can be disseminated. Although the majority of patients with sarcoidosis do quite well, those that do not may have devastating changes in lifestyle. It is the hope of the author of this web site that the information provided can help patients and their physicians deal more effectively with these problems.
