Why We Exist

Scleroderma is a difficult condition to diagnose. Its symptoms vary significantly from person to person, making it difficult to treat with any single course of treatment.
Success looks different for each person with scleroderma and may be outside the realm of conventional medical practices.
The Scleroderma Society of Canada, founded in December 1999, by a group of six individuals all of whom have scleroderma, hopes to provide a proactive approach to scleroderma, encompassing both conventional and alternative treatments, education and support.
The mission of the Scleroderma Society of Canada:
A non-profit society raising awareness of, and funding for research and cure of scleroderma.
The long term impact of our activities will improve the wellbeing, and extend the life expectancy of people whose lives have been impacted on a daily basis by scleroderma.
