National Conference |
The
Scleroderma Foundation theme for 2007 is “I Believe,”
and based on written evaluations, conversations, and the many
smiles seen last weekend in Philadelphia, we believe the National
Conference was a resounding success.
Nearly
450 patients and their families, National staff, members of
the Board of Directors, exhibitors, and Delaware Valley Chapter
volunteers participated in the conference, held in one of
America’s greatest cities, Philadelphia. |
