Episode 154 | 2025 Was a great year in the fight against Sarcoidosis

Here at the end of 2025, it's time to measure our progress in the fight against Sarcoidosis -- and the news is good. In this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter Podcast, Tricha Shivas, the Chief of Staff and Strategy at the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research, joins me to talk about huge strides in research funding, building the support community, Veterans' support, and even progress with lawmakers in Washington, D.C. In short, this is a good time to be a sarc patient -- as more and more progress is being made and even more is coming in 2026.
