Sarcoidosis is a complex disease that can involve multiple organs in the body, and can be difficult for patients who suffer from it as there is no cure. A support group can provide a way for patients and their family members to share experiences, emotions and knowledge. Connecting patients in this way can also lead to advances in research as we strive to better understand this disease.
The August 26th meeting will be held in-person and virtually. Hepatologist, Dr. Carolyn Hogan of the Temple Digestive Disease Center, will discuss how sarcoidosis affects the liver. Vincent Ferrera, RT of SmartVest will discuss ways to breathe easier with sarcoidosis.
