Is for all scleroderma patients to receive an accurate and timely diagnosis, and access to care and support for those who require it, until we find a cure to end scleroderma.

We EMPOWER the scleroderma community to live BETTER lives through programs dedicated to SUPPORT, EDUCATION, and RESEARCH.

SUPPORT: Inspiring our community through support services and resources for patients including local community and with other foundations’ peer led support groups.

EDUCATION: For medical professionals to assist and properly diagnose scleroderma early, and assist patients to help them cope and thrive while living with scleroderma.

RESEARCH: Help fund global research projects that will lead the way to finding a cure for scleroderma.

We commit to partnering and affiliating with organizations who share our mission of improving quality of life for patients with scleroderma, for RESEARCH to find a cure for scleroderma and EDUCATION, including outreach to the medical community to better understand and properly diagnose scleroderma. Such partnerships will support our mission and provide new opportunities for growth.
Although we are no longer associated with the National Scleroderma Foundation, we, as the Scleroderma Foundation of Greater Washington, DC are committed more than ever to fight against this disease.
