Welcome to the Bay Area Scleroderma Support Group!

The Bay Area Scleroderma Support Group (San Francisco Bay Area of California) is a group of Scleroderma patients and caregivers that meets monthly at Kaiser Hospital, Niles West Building, 39400 Paseo Padre Parkway, Fremont, CA. (See Calendar of Events for specific dates and times.)

Our meetings are typically attended by 20-30 individuals with a diversity of experiences and symptoms of the disease. We have both male and female patients including children and teenagers. Our meetings usually include times of fellowship and sharing, comparing of common experiences, and presentations on specific topics of common interest to the group. Whether you are newly diagnosed, have experienced the disease for some period of time, or are a concerned caregiver; you are encouraged and welcomed to attend and participate in our meeting.
