Perspective on Sarcoidosis History and Clinical Research (featuring local colleagues)

A new organization, Americas Association of Sarcoidosis and Other Granulomatous Disorders (AASOG), had its inaugural meeting recently (April 7-8, 2017) in central Pennsylvania.  As the provider of an overview of Sarcoidosis, this was an opportunity to review and feature some of the area’s local medical and research interests that have been important in attempting to understand and manage patients with this illness.  This introductory commentary features area investigators and clinicians who have been helpful in elucidating the pathophysiology and management of this illness.
