“Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.”
– Hippocrates, Greek physician known as “The Father of Modern Medicine”
When you’ve been diagnosed with a chronic inflammatory disease like sarcoidosis, it’s important to take every opportunity to learn everything you can about it.
Living with a disease that can seriously damage your body’s tissues and organs requires you to be smart, conscientious, and proactive about your healthcare.
Do You Know Everything You Need To?
Maybe you already know that the formations of tiny granules of immune cells that clump together in sarcoidosis are called granulomas. But are you up-to-date regarding testing and treatment? Do you really know all there is to know about living your best life despite sarcoidosis?
Educational programs that include both patients and medical experts give you the opportunity to hear new perspectives and ask new questions.
Do THEY Know Everything THEY Ought To?
When patients are invited to participate in educational events, they give healthcare professionals a new perspective, too. The learning goes both ways—and that’s great for medical pros AND patients.
