The Sjögren's Syndrome Foundation (SSF) began in 1983 in the home of Elaine Harris, a patient. For the past 35 years, the SSF has been honored to support all Sjögren’s patient and the mantra of Elaine—“founded by a patient, for patients” —remains the center of what we do by ensuring that the patient voice is never lost in our efforts.
Over the years, the work of the Foundation has grown and adapted to meet the needs of both current patients and future generations. As we continue to expand our reach and scope as the disease evolves, the SSF volunteer Board of Directors wanted to clearly communicate our vision and what we want to accomplish in the coming years.
Today, the SSF is proud to announce that after months of planning and the involvement of many volunteers, patients, researchers and physicians, we have set a new vision statement.
