Please join us on Saturday, February 13, from 11AM-12PM CST (12-1PM EST, 10-11AM MT, 9-10AM PST).

Our first Sarc Social in February will be all about celebrating Black History Month! Sarcoidosis disproportionally affects the African American community in the United States. Join FSR Patient Advocate and Navigator, Michael Patterson, as we tackle topics like:

  • The origin of National Black History Month
  • Experience with health inequity and what we can do to combat it
  • Advocating for yourself with your provider
