On September 16 and 17, 2016 will be held the National Scleroderma Bilingual Conference
at the Bonaventure Hotel located in downtown Montreal. Scleroderma Quebec is pleased
to present, in collaboration with the Scleroderma Society of Canada, this great gathering of
patients, families and researchers who share an interest in the understanding and treatment of
Scleroderma, a severe disfiguring autoimmune disease of unknown cause.
Experienced specialists whose multidisciplinary work contribute to improve the quality of life
of scleroderma patients will be present and share the latest advances in their disciplines.
Many breakout sessions will be given by experts on topics of interest to scleroderma
patients, their families or caregivers and health professionals affected by this disease. We are
committed to ensuring that scleroderma patient will have on hand the best possible
information on how to best cope with the disease. We hope to bring together as many
participants as possible to share about this disease and its impacts on people’s lives.
