FSR is pleased to be a resource for patients, professionals and consumers looking for additional information on sarcoidosis and would be happy to collaborate with the media on in-depth articles and news reports.

Included in this section are press releases and articles about the Foundation which have appeared in popular publications.  A review of sarcoidosis studies and related articles in scientific publications can be found under the heading 'Research News'.  FSR has recently produced a Public Service Announcement to help raise national awareness of this disease.  The PSA features famed Boston Celtics basketball player Bill Russell and his daughter Karen, both sarcoidosis patients.

Members of the media are encouraged to contact Executive Director Debbie Durrer at FSR at 312-341-0500 or info@stopsarcoidosis.org to request additional background information, a copy of the FSR Press Kit or a beta copy of the PSA.
