Sarcoid Networking Association

No two snowflakes are alike and no two individuals with sarcoidosis appear to have identical symptoms. Therefore, we have chosen snowflakes to symbolize sarcoidosis.

The SARCOID NETWORKING ASSOCIATION was founded in 1992 to educate individuals, provide information and heighten public awareness about Sarcoidosis.

SNA has a new Executive Director

For over 20 years, the Sarcoid Networking Association has continued to provide support and information to sufferers of Sarcoidosis and worked with other organizations to promote awareness and research for this disease. In that time, we have gone through many changes while still providing these services. As you may know, Dolores O’Leary, the founder of SNA, retired in 2006 and Lynn Short, previous President of the Board, took over as Executive Director. At that time, Kristi Anderson became President of the Board. Now, effective September 2012, Lynn has stepped down for a much deserved retirement and Kristi is now the new Executive Director. Lynn will continue for some time as an advisor.

Kristi has been on the Board since 1997, and carries the passion for this organization that comes from someone who has the disease and has talked to hundreds of people and heard their stories. She has also represented SNA in Washington D.C. and at the National Institutes of Health as well as facilitating two support groups in Oregon and as Director and founder of the Sarcoid Registry.

With the change in directorship comes another change. The office is now moved to Molalla, Oregon. The old address will continue to forward mail to the new address but we are contacting as many members and partners as possible to announce the new address.

We will also be changing our phone number. The new phone number is: 541-905-2092. (The old phone number will be discontinued on April 30, 2013. )

SNA appreciates your patience with the changes that are coming. We will continue to keep this website updated and contact members through phone calls, mailings, and newsletters along with the website information. We look forward to many more years of service. Thank you for your continued support.

- Kristi Anderson
