Review for Spondylitis Association of America, Encino, CA, USA
Five years ago I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis and within a month joined SAA. I needed information, from definitions of "new" termonology, names of the current medictions available, the enormous research facts accurately presented, and I needed everything fast. They are there to help.
The SAA website quickly became my primary source for AS. As a volunteer for the charity for the last four years my respect and appreciation for SAA continues to grow. The educational materials available to the members (from podcasts, web presentations, free seminars, free support group meetings, and countless informative articles), allows us to empower ourselves. Its' richly dynamic and informative website allows me and countless other AS sufferers to be proactive in our lives. There is not any charity for AS that provides as much as SAA does to the members, volunteers and public. They stay true to their mission, they respect those diagnosed with Spondylitis and become a real friend by helping patients, physicians, caregivers and family members.
The Spondylitis Associaion of America is the best charity I have ever been privileged to know of and be associated with.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my daily life. I am definitely better educated due to SAA, have a healthy outlook due to them, and I never feel alone anymore with this devastating disease since becoming a member.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
pray for a cure to AS and all spondyloarthropathies. I feel certain that SAA would pray for this change, too.
