The Sjögren’s Foundation Awareness Ambassador program began in 2011 with the intent to help the Foundation achieve our 5-Year Breakthrough Goal: “To shorten the time to diagnose Sjögren’s by 50% in 5 years." Thanks to the help of these amazing ambassadors, we not only met, but we exceeded this goal, taking the time it took to get a diagnosis down from 6 years to 2.8 years!
Important work still continues in helping to increase the awareness of Sjögren’s. Awareness Ambassadors are on the front lines, helping the Foundation achieve their Mission and Vision of providing credible resources and conquering the complexities of Sjögren’s through awareness. They do this by implementing the Foundation’s campaigns, targeted at educating healthcare professionals in their area about the various manifestations of the disease. Together these Awareness Ambassadors have reached thousands of healthcare professionals throughout the country, making a tremendous impact on the landscape of Sjögren's in the medical community. Only when Sjögren’s is recognized as a serious and complex disease will patients receive the care needed.
