My Name is Tina Burger and I'm the Patient Services Director and PROUD leader of the Los Angeles Support Group for the Scleroderma Foundation of California. My passion for families living with scleroderma began in 1990 when I was working at UCLA in the division of rheumatology wheer I met the most amazing and inspiring families living with scleroderma that help shape me into the woman I am today. I am honored to work in this field and help support our scleroderma communities near and far live their best self navigating this often difficult disease TOGETHER!!!  The Scleroderma Foundation thrives with your support so we can continue to support our families living with scleroderma by EMPOWER them to live BETTER lives through programs dedicated to SUPPORT, EDUCATION, and RESEARCH.
