Steffens Scleroderma Foundation

www.steffens-scleroderma.org Ann's nature was to help others, and she participated in several research studies throughout her life.

The Steffens Scleroderma Foundation was formed in memory of Ann Steffens who was diagnosed with scleroderma in 1984 and passed away in 1997. Her mother Helen Polenz donated the funds to create the research center in the hope of sparing others the pain of losing a loved one to this disease.
