Sister Mary Rose Noonan, CSJ |
"This year's event in Boston will be my third National Patient Education Conference. If I could, I would go every year! Being in a room with so many persons who share the common bond of scleroderma is such a hope-filled experience. The Conference provides opportunities for education, support, advocacy, and fun! Sharing and making connections with so many individuals who have a similar vision and hope for a cure and who cope with many of the same daily issues is both exhilarating and humbling."
