Sarcoid Networking Association
Mission Statement:
Founded in 1992, the Sarcoid Networking Association
brings together support, education and resources to improve the lives of those
affected by sarcoidosis.
Philosophy:
“THROUGH UNITY AND KNOWLEDGE, COMES
TRUTH”
We, the members of the Sarcoid Networking Association
unite to ...
- create and foster an environment of empathy,
enlightenment, encouragement and empowerment in which we can
all come to a fuller expression of our own unique gifts and
talents in spite of having a long term illness;
- use our gifts and positive capabilities to encourage
each other to fully live each day in a compassionate and fruitful
atmosphere;
- serve as a network system of support and resources through
newsletter, telephone, correspondence and group meetings for all
individuals who demonstrate an interest in sarcoidosis, opening the
doors of communication, education and research;
- disseminate information to the general public to help
them recognize and understand sarcoidosis as a serious medical problem;
- provide health officials and the medical community
with statistical information obtained from group participation,
so they will be able to recognize sarcoidosis as a serious health concern,
especially data about people who are afflicted with sarcoidosis,
people who become disabled with sarcoidosis, and the young and old
who die from sarcoidosis.
We, the members of the Sarcoid Networking
Association, look beyond the sufferings and struggles in the life
of Sarcoidians to finding a cure for this disease, knowing that
together we can all make a difference through communication, commitment
and education.
The SARCOID NETWORKING ASSOCIATION was
founded in 1992 to educate individuals, provide information and heighten
public awareness about sarcoidosis.
