Let’s Talk About It, Rheumatic Diseases in the African American Community, A Fireside Chat

Dr. Chanda Nicole Holsey moderated an engaging and informative discussion entitled “Let’s Talk About It, Rheumatic Diseases in the African American Community, A Fireside Chat.” ! We heard from two patients, Greta and Kishinna, who are effectively managing their lupus and RA conditions, respectively; and Dr. Hackshaw, rheumatology specialist and prolific researcher, shared important information on the impact of rheumatic diseases in AAs and management and clinical perspectives.

The overall takeaway: awareness of one’s symptoms is a necessary first step to address and solve them; a healthy, fulfilling life awaits!
