Support Groups provide a forum to share feelings, concerns, information, and as well as a place to offer peer support and encouragement. Solicitations or research projects are not conducted at support group meetings.

This schedule is subject to change. Before attending a group for the first time, please call to verify date and time. Groups are free of charge and open to everyone.

About our group:
The Piedmont Area Support Group (Including York, Chester, and Lancaster Counties) was started in January 1997. We currently have about 31 scleroderma patients and family members are always encouraged to attend. Anyone with scleroderma, or any autoimmune disease, is encouraged to join us. David Burack, M.D., a rheumatologist at the Carolina Center for Rheumatology and Arthritis Care in Rock Hill, S.C. and Charlotte, N.C. is our group's medical advisor.
