Steffens Scleroderma Foundation

Steffens Scleroderma Foundation www.steffens-scleroderma.org Ann's nature was to help others, and she participated in several research studies throughout her life.

The Steffens Scleroderma Foundation was formed in memory of Ann Steffens who was diagnosed with scleroderma in 1984 and passed away in 1997. Her mother Helen Polenz donated the funds to create the research center in the hope of sparing others the pain of losing a loved one to this disease.

We honor the millions of Americans who provide care, particularly those supporting loved ones battling scleroderma and Degos disease.

Caring for someone with a complex illness can bring significant emotional, physical and financial strain. Caregivers are heroes, and their dedication deserves support.
