Sjögren’s Syndrome Seminar to be Held June 10 in New York City

The Sjögren's Syndrome Foundation, the recognized advocate for Sjögren’s syndrome, will have a seminar on Saturday, June 10 at the Holiday Inn Midtown—57th Street Hotel, New York City.

The conference begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m. A welcome reception will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, June 9.

Sjögren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system mistakenly targets its own moisture-producing glands, is one of the most prevalent autoimmune disorders, affecting as many as four million Americans.

The SSF has arranged for some of the country’s leading medical and dental experts to help attendees learn how to cope with Sjögren’s and explain what the future holds for Sjögren’s research and treatment.

The New York City seminar is another in a series of SSF seminars that offer the opportunity to meet other members of the Sjögren’s Syndrome Foundation and to learn what medicines offer the best relief, successful coping strategies, and more.

Each seminar includes an exhibit area where pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers of other aids can help attendees learn about the newest treatments. Expert physicians present on a variety of topics of interest to Sjögren’s patients, and the seminar schedule offers time for these experts to answer questions.
