Our Mission

The Scleroderma Association of B.C., also known as SABC, was founded in 1984 by five patients diagnosed with scleroderma. SABC is an all-volunteer, registered charity created to support patients & their families. Our membership currently includes about 550 patients and their supporters.

Working several fronts, the SABC has a three-fold mission:

1. Support scleroderma patients by promoting patient outreach and education.
2. Raise public awareness and develop information tools for the general public and those in the medical community.
3. Encourage and support leading edge research in British Columbia and Canada.
