"We felt like we were on a medical merry-go-round. We saw the skin specialist, the heart specialist, the joint specialist and more. Each time we started from square one. Our daughter seemed to get sicker and sicker. We knew we needed help to understand and treat what was really wrong.”

If your child has an autoimmune disease, you know how devastating these conditions can be.
• How difficult it is to reach a diagnosis.
• How daunting it is to find the right information, resources and treatment.
• How demanding the disease can be on the entire family.

FINALLY, there is a place where you can find answers and action… and renewed HOPE.

THE CHALLENGE:
Severe autoimmune diseases may affect one location in the body, or many. They may progress slowly or move quickly. Their symptoms may come and go. This can make diagnosis elusive and conventional treatments ineffective.

THE SOLUTION:
The Samara Jan Turkel Clinical Center - located at Children's Hospital Boston, the premier pediatric healthcare and research facility in the country,* offers the first clinical center dedicated solely to the needs of children with autoimmune conditions. Here you will find a multidisciplinary team of physician-scientists and caregivers armed with the most advanced knowledge and experience, the latest treatment options, and the best understanding of the ordeal facing you, your child and your family.
