While progress in research and treatment is ongoing, continued efforts are crucial for advancing care and finding a cure.

🤩This was an all-star panel at #ACR24 on cultural humility for doctors. It featured the first pediatric speaker at ACR - the amazing Miah Andrade -and her mom @CaringForLupus. @SHILOHKANTZ shared her family's heartbreaking journey to access care in a state without a #pedsrheum.
